Red-whiskered bulbuls have spread to many locations out of their typical range. Pockets have emerged from birds that have escaped captivity. Here is one seen in Los Angeles, part of a large family in the area.

A great horned owl calmly rests in her nest, heavily blending in thanks to her camouflaged feathers. Owls often go unnoticed despite being fairly widespread - most are masters of blending in with their surroundings.

Blue hour on Morro Beach this past December - what an awesome blanket of clouds!

King tide, sunrise, and sea spray made for an awesome morning walk on the Pismo Beach Pier this past December. I always love a winter trip up to the central coast for wildlife and landscapes - the opportunities are endless!

Whenever I'm up on the central coast of California I always make a point to stop in Morro Bay to see the local wildlife and the epic Morro Rock, pictured here. This is at sunset from a stay there in this past December, captured on a Sony A7rV.

An Allen's hummingbird showing off his glowing gorget just outside of my window. This little guy's beard is just incredible!

Lots of chatter around the best CF Express A cards to pick up, especially with the new A1 II only supporting 2.0. Personally, I'm giving the Angelbird 1tb 4.0 a try; so much cheaper than Sony Tough & faster transfer speeds to pc/laptop.
