Birds

Photos of Birds that live around my home on Coldwater Farm in central Arizona.  (More about Arizona Birds)

We call our 20 acres Coldwater Farm and we keep it for wildlife and a few furry friends. We moved here in 1997, and since then we have identified more than 125 bird species. Some seen only once, others every year.
