Ravens are hard birds to beat. They’re smart, look awesome, and apparently will listen to hard rock music with you for hours like this one which sat by my car listening to music with me for an hour

I got to take two of my friends to lifer this wintering chestnut-sided warbler.

His face has molted and he’s slowly growing in dark marks on his face and shoulders!

Not a bird. But while birding you see lots of other animals, like this fox here

Not always the easiest birds to spot. This week and next week I’ll be chasing several other owl species, including Great Gray and Snowy Owl
