Here is one more Pukeko from New Zealand, this one taken right in Christchurch.

This is a funky-looking Pyrrhuloxia (not to imply that this one is particular in that regard; they are all funky-looking).  If you're not familiar with them you can probably tell that they are in the same genus as the Northern Cardinal.

The bird in front, who stopped just short of a whirlyhead, is a House Finch, sharing the feeder with the Pyrrhuloxia.

I took this photo in Southeast Arizona.

The wheatear is exactly handsome. Great bird

Pyrrhuloxia and House Finch were cast for this role on a purely chromatic basis - I'd have loved to see the auditions.  Cool picture.

P is (of course) for the Peregrine Falcon

In the last couple of years I learned a lot about them here on the forum, first the yahoogroup and

before that the Kodak discussionboard.
When you see a real Peregrine Falcon, it's fantastic!!!
