A male Pyrrhuloxia perches on a branch. These birds are in the Cardinal family, but are just found in the southwest states. They're common in southern Arizona, although they are shy. This is a male and as you can see it is not fully red like a male cardinal. People sometimes mistake the males and the females with Cardinals. The way to tell them apart is Cardinals have reddish-orange beaks, whereas Pyrrhuloxia's have yellow-black beaks.
