It’s been a while since I’ve been this close to a Brown Creeper!
I took my own advice. Approached slowly at an angle. Took cover behind trees and finally got within 10 ft of this bird!
Brown creepers are my favorite birds to see when a few eventually winter in Orange County

Varied bunting in watercolor
The Varied Bunting is a small songbird from the southwestern United States and Mexico, distinguished by the male's striking purple and red plumage and the female's plain, light brown appearance.

A male showing its fall plumage with the feather tips tinged with a rusty orange. These will become solid black nearer to breeding plumage.

Even more important as women are now expected to work
My team and I treat more working women now than ever to help and PREVENT not only aches and pains, but intervene early enough to build a habit of healthy living to stave off cardiovascular risk and diabetes
The lift gets much harder as you age

Women derive more benefit from physical activity than men with respect to reduction of cardiovascular risk and related mortality, and can achieve protection at lower levels of engagement. From ~85,000 participants, open-access (blue=men)

Another rare heron for our parts! Relative rarity aside. Our county is good for one of these per year!
Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve remains one of a kind in luring these wetland dependent birds to our county!

The Red-Breasted Nuthatches *love* pine nuts. Their beaks are perfectly designed for extracting them from cones. If you zoom in on the third pic you can see he’s extracting a prize #birds 🌿

When ever I describe a little blue heron, the description always starts with a heron with a deep wine colored head 🍷
It’s such an incredibly deep rich color that I can describe no other way
THIS is how I like to get drunk on a Sunday morning… on birds

What a lovely bird to see! Undoubtedly a pipit, bobbing its tail. However, this species normally is an Eurasian bird and is very rarely seen and/or identified in North America
A bird I would have seen in the future, but it was nice to not travel to catch an Eurasian species!

I watched as the sun shown crimson through the mist rising from the Caribbean
A perfect end to a beautiful journey
