Happy Halloween from this spotted towhee, my Halloween bird. They are orange and black, and they have have spooky red eyes. They like to hide in bushes, and they have a hoarse, raspy call. #spottedtowhee #birds #halloween #halloweenbirds

Not far from CatCon, Parrot Con. This one is a lilac-crowned parrot. I saw the yellow-headed parrot and many red-crowned parrots too. They intermingle and even cross-breed sometimes. #birds #lilaccrownedparrot #pasadenaparrots #parrots

I went back to the parking garage to see the parrots again. There were only red-crowned parrots today, but it was fun to watch their antics. I’m not sure what these two were up to but it seems painful! #wildparrots #pasadenaparrots #lovebirds #birds

This morning I was at a parking garage in Old Pas when I heard the distinctive chatter of yellow-headed parrots. They were up high in a tree, almost at eye level. Later they were joined by a flock of red-crowned parrots. #yellowheadedparrot #parrots #birds

Today I saw a family of Cooper’s hawks. I spotted the juvenile in the tree first, and then Mama swooped in, chasing a squirrel. Later I saw another juvenile perched nearby. #coopershawk #juvenilehawk #birds

A bouquet of Plummer’s mariposa lily and California buckwheat. I always look for these lilies in the summer. I think they were a little later this year because January was so dry. #plummersmariposalily #mariposalily #californiabuckwheat #wildflowers #mountainflowers #californianativeplants #flowers
