Description
This watercolor scene representing the American Southwest desert region, especially in the Arizona area, reminded me of the Vermillion Cliff National Monument plateau in the northern part of the state. The red cliffs of that area are near Lees Ferry and the Paria River which eventually flows into the Colorado River.
In the foreground is a black, silky flycatcher known as the Phainopepla. He is perched in a mesquite branch next to a teddy bear cholla cactus that is in full bloom with gorgeous pale yellowish flowers. Phainopepla like to nest in mistletoe vines that take over many trees in Arizona. They are insect eaters along with the mistletoe berries and other desert fruit. These black beauties are seen in the outlying areas of Phoenix but do like the higher elevations during the hot summers.
