I got to see a California Thrasher last weekend for only the third time ever and was delighted. DELIGHTED!!

HB Central Park is such a special place to me. Currently it’s making the news for an awful MAGA plague they want to put on the beautiful library (my respect to @chriswarcraft.bsky.social for protesting that), as well as putting in a light show that would be catastrophic to wildlife.

Ooooooooooh. I love this very, very much!

I did not! I shall go back and look for it! ❤️

I’m so happy I was able to snag these two. THEY’RE SO GOOD!

If we are still a country in August and it’s actually safe to fly, haha, I will try to be there!

Happy to see it!

How long did it take to get your gear back? How is your wrist doing? 😔

Bolsa Chica. Had a thing in HB and let myself stop by Bolsa for a very brief time. I had so many amazing opportunities with that young harrier. None of the photos are good. It could simply be that it was windy and I was having trouble holding the camera still. Or it was the fall. Or both.

hahahahaha. Or maybe we would cancel each other out and neither of us would fall!!

I follow the birds one already, but send me the herps one! I wonder if there is a spider one…

They do need water! Some prefer to drink from misted droplets and others will drink straight from a little water bowl! It’s adorable.
