The desert cardinal (Cardinalis sinuatus), or pyrrhuloxia, is a songbird native to the American southwest and northern Mexico.

This shot, by Carla's son Larry, shows a beautiful male visiting one our bird feeders:

Thanks to Larry for sharing this great catch!

What delightful plumage. I am rarely jealous but this is something I would love to see for myself one day!
