Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #least, the bird of which you have the - ahem - fewest photos. This is my one and only photo of a Northern yellow warbler, and I took it only two months ago.

Despite their enviable ability to fly, #birds spend a lot of time #standingonthings, which is perhaps why that's the #birdoftheday theme. A Western wood-peewee on a cactus, from 2018.

That time a Cooper's hawk launched itself straight at me. It flew about three feet over my head.

At Cottontail Acres: I only had to wait about 15 minutes at dawn yesterday for our resident mockingbird to land in this tree so I could frame it against the setting full moon.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CloseUps
I had the pleasure of hanging out with two of our resident ravens' young ones at sunset a couple of years ago. I managed to get some nice portraits.

At Cottontail Acres: we had an unusual visitor early this morning, a male red-naped sapsucker. They're generally fairly common, but I've seen them only a few times here at the house over the years. This one has some extra red feathers on his head.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #underrated.
We have over two dozen sparrow varieties in California, and they would be my pick: song sparrow, chipping sparrow, lark sparrow, white-throated sparrow.

This shot of a Lawrence's goldfinch was accepted into competition at the annual juried art exhibition at our local Museum of Art and History last year. Which was nice.

Time for #BirdOfTheDay
All together now: #egrets, I've seen a few. But then again, too few to mention...
That first great egret flew over the house just after sunset last month. The second landed way over on the far side of our property back in 2021.
