I can't reply to the topic via the website, but for anyone wanting to know what
these birds are, they are, from top to bottom:
#1 "desert" House Finch (far more brightly colored than your typical House
Finch, although, I've seen some bright ones here in WI)
#2. Northern Mockingbird
#3 Say's Phoebe (these are fairly common Sayornis flycatchers of the desert
southwest)
#4 Scott's Oriole
#5 Montezuma Quail (this is a species that is difficult to see, much less
photograph. It always seems as if the Texas birds are much more confiding than
the Arizonan ones.)

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be
again."
(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
