Just a dude trying to capture the amazing bird world of Los Angeles and Southern California. Hit me up for Bird IDs and spot recommendations.
Count myself lucky that I have such a crazy bird to look at in my neck of the woods. Vermilion Flycatcher.

Scaly-breasted Munia on sentry duty. These guys are not native to L.A, but are fun to watch nonetheless.

Ruby-crowned Kinglets are one of my favorite wintertime birds, and also my photographic nemesis. They are so fast.

A Nuttall's Woodpecker claiming dominion over a Dragonfruit. Many bird species around L.A take advantage of the area's long history of ornamental horticulture.

It's not everyday that you see a Vermillion Flycatcher perched next to the car that they use to commute.

Spotting Lilac-crowned Amazons amongst the Red-crowned flocks is always a fun exercise.

Now that it's winter, Say's Phoebe's are popping up here and there in L.A. Like most Flycatchers, they are very fun ti watch.

My best ever look at a Green Heron. It flew right up to me and my friend and actually stuck around for a few minutes.

Sometimes, you are lucky. This kingfisher posed nicely for me.

Orange-crowned Warblers hang around L.A year-round. Even though they are considered drab by Warbler standards, I appreciate the pops of yellow during the winter months.

Allen's Hummingbirds have such insane color on their gorget. Almost as insane as their territorial instincts around the feeders.

Yes.....*checks notes*.....this would appear to be an Acorn Woodpecker.

Belted Kingfishers usually leave the are if you even think about taking a photo. Got very lucky that this female stuck around.

Gotta love Dark-eyed Juncos; A bird associated with seasonal change for much of the U.S. Around L.A, we definitely have some that stick around all year.

I'm still looking forward to seeing some Cedar Waxwings this winter. They are just awesome.

I hope everyone has an excellent Thanksgiving!! I will use this opportunity to shamelessly post this absolute unit of a Gould's Turkey I saw some time ago in Madera Canyon, AZ.
