Recently, two fun birds showed up in Maricopa County in Williamson's Sapsucker and Streak-backed Oriole. They were fun to go and see. An Elegant Trogon has even wintered in a Mesa neighborhood, but is on private property. Hopefully a Trogon will show at Slate Creek Divide or someplace in Maricopa soon.
I'll stick to the point on this post and share photos. The Williamson's Sapsucker is an awesome adult male.
A Streak-backed Oriole has been at Gilbert Water Ranch for awhile. One day I went out to see it. Fortunately, birders put oranges out and the bird has been coming into the oranges. I didn't wait long for the oriole to make a few appearances. This is my second Streak-backed Oriole for Maricopa County, with the first one being last year at the Hassayampa River Preserve.
