Great variety - I saw most of them (except for the Roadrunner)  at the same location on March 24 when we visited the place. Later on in Sedona I was lucky to see a Lucy's Warbler and also a Canyon Towhee.

Here are two photos of Lucy's Warbler and one for Canyon Towhee. We stayed in a hotel near the Bell Rock in Sedona. One morning I walked to the park in search of local birds. It was a very overcast day, so the photos came out a little muted.
#1 & #2; Lucy's Warbler. Rufous rump (photo 2) with rusty crown (photo 1) indicative of a male.

Cool shots DInu. Thanks for posting them. I'll have to go further afield next time I'm in Phoenix.
