One thing I love about birding in new places is finding a bird you didn't know existed. When I saw this bird, I assumed it was a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, which is in range for San Diego.
Then it vocalized, and I learned it was a California Gnatcatcher, a species I hadn't heard of! #birds

I saw this Townsend's Warbler on a public bike path in La Jolla. As I photographed, a woman stopped me and asked what I was doing. I pointed up and said, "See the small bird with a beautiful face?"
She replies, "A beautiful face. Isn't that all anybody ever wants?" 🤣 #birds

I saw a lot of cool birds in San Diego, and I’ll share some photos over the next few days. But the coolest bird I saw was one I didn’t get a photo of.
This is the Swinhoe’s White-eye. Not my photo, but had to share it. #birds

Just your standard crow, right?
Not so fast! This here's a Fish Crow.
Generally a rarity, but we have a nice breeding population in my patch. #birds

I'm seeking a great bird conservation organization to donate half of my December profits from @colorflock.com.
Any recommendations?

I had a dream last night that I positively IDd a “Yarn Owl” which basically looked like a cross between a Barred and a Snowy and was supposed to only live in Asia. It was exhilarating. #birds

Bird of the Week! Winter Wren
What a song! The Winter Wren is tiny, but boisterous. Their beautiful song flutters through the understory, sounding like magical flutesong played by hidden wood elves. #birds 🪶
