Ducks?
Yes this is desert, but because it is also the drainage for an enormous area which extends pretty much to the Grand Canyon, (water which has been slowly seeping through rocks for 5000 years) - there are springs and creeks that flow year round.
As a result there is a surprising amount of green in the canyons, and if you know where to look for them, ducks.
And - of course we are the sort who know where to look for them, we even have "find a duck" apps on our phones.
The wood duck (above) was a special treat - besides the amazing coloring they are typically very skittish.
Below a ring necked duck - which has a band on its bill - not my nomenclature.
