This photo is a nice overview of much of the Birdcage Panel. I really like the intriguing red and white figure that seems to be flying above all the other figures here. There are many unusual and interesting pictographs and petroglyphs located at this site. I enjoyed visiting and exploring the area.
Here’s another photo of the Birdcage Panel that shows more of the unusual figures that are found here. These are the three most prominent figures found at the site. The one on the left looks like a birdcage (or R2D2) which I believe is how this panel received it’s name. There’s also a few bird feet petroglyphs pecked into the wall which could have also helped with the name of the site.
This is just one of many very unusual Barrier Canyon Style pictographs found in a large alcove and known as the Birdcage Panel. This isn’t the only figure here with a small round head, but it certainly is the most prominent and can be seen from down canyon if you know where to look. I’ll be posting some more photos from this panel in the next few days.
