Woodhouse’s Scrub Jay

An often present, though photographically elusive (to me) bird that lives among the trees of the grand canyon’s rim trails.

Zone-tailed Hawk

This bird was really, really far away. That I can ID it at all is pretty cool!

Plateau Fence Lizard

Can you see the lizard? Or does its camouflage allow it to evade your notice?

She must go, her people need her.

Mordio Crow 6/21/25 Mordio Crow 6/21/25

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Audubon’s Warbler

It’s him! The Mr. Audubon Warbler himself!

Ash-throated Flycatcher

A second “Tyrant” spotted on my Grand Canyon trip, though this time from far away! The crown cuts a different profile than the other.

Western Bluebird

Bluebirds are delightful little birds. Visually striking, often hanging out in groups so that there’s plenty to look at—always a fun spot!

Mordio Crow 6/12/25 Mordio Crow 6/12/25

Say’s Phoebe

A skillful flyer who I witnessed catching many a bug! A very cute bird for being a part of a family called “Tyrants”

Mordio Crow 6/11/25 Mordio Crow 6/11/25

Rock Squirrel

This squirrel lives at the Grand Canyon, but still takes the time to appreciate its wonder.

Mordio Crow 6/10/25 Mordio Crow 6/10/25

Red-breasted Nuthatch

This Grand Canyon bird was a grand challenge to get a photo of!

Mordio Crow 6/9/25 Mordio Crow 6/9/25

Mountain Chickadee

A bird whose call matches their name — but this time in the mountains (or a Grand Canyon)!

Mordio Crow 6/8/25 Mordio Crow 6/8/25

Lesser Goldfinch

A bright yellow bird spotted not far from the Grand Canyon!

I think he should be the Grand Goldfinch!

Juniper Titmouse

Tiny pointy bird!

Mordio Crow 6/6/25 Mordio Crow 6/6/25

Elk

The second largest type of deer, an Elk! Spotted at Grand Canyon National Park

Mordio Crow 6/5/25 Mordio Crow 6/5/25

Common Raven

These intelligent birds were hanging out at the Grand Canyon nature center, where they were almost certainly looking to pick up free snacks.

Mordio Crow 6/3/25 Mordio Crow 6/3/25

American Bushtit

Not a lot of good photos of this one.

There’s a censored/blurred image joke here with this bird in particular, but I don’t feel like putting it together.

Mordio Crow 6/2/25 Mordio Crow 6/2/25

Brewer’s Blackbird

A common, but very fun to watch bird! These pictures are all from Grand Canyon Village!

Mordio Crow 5/20/25 Mordio Crow 5/20/25

Chipping Sparrow

With its chestnut cap and black eyeliner, the chipping sparrow is looking cute!

The former iconic sparrow of North America.
