When I got to this spot there were only three birds. Lucky for me one of them was a Nelson’s Sparrow. I was the only birder there and I got quite a show from this little bird.
LIFER.

Look at this Palm Warbler bobbing its tail. The tail movement stirs up insects which is the bird’s preferred food source.

A murder of Crows did not like us. Cackling and flying the whole time, it felt like a scene from “The Birds”. They actually cracked a branch and it fell behind our group. (Sound up to hear it). One of the birders took the branch as a souvenir.

Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers drill for sap.
The sap attract the insects.
The insects attract birds.

It’s always good to see a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

This is one of four Northern Flickers eating out of this tree. Tree must have good reviews.

Missed my chance to catch a Black and White Warbler on video.
Dejected, I turned around and there sat a male Black-throated Blue Warbler. Score!

A female Black-throated Blue Warbler.
Yep, not blue.
Yep, no black throat.
Could be an Orange-crowned Warbler but the white patch on the wings says otherwise.

This young Peregrine Falcon perched for over 20 minutes in this spot. I don’t know much about them but it seemed a bit odd. The trees below him were full of warblers.

Beautiful Osprey perched at Crescent. The Northern Flickers were not happy but they didn’t dive bomb this bird like they do the Red-tailed Hawks.

Big brother has flew the coop, its just Mom feeding the remaining hummingbird baby. (Part 2)

Note: Staying a respectful distance from the birds
means more photo cropping and more graininess.

We counted five Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at one time in the Vale today. They put on a lovely show, one buzzed over my head!

These Monk Parakeets are on alert! Why? There were two Cooper’s Hawks approaching their nest.

I believe this Great Blue Heron is cooling off by Gular Fluttering.
A Heron vibrates the moist tissues in its throat and mouth. The airflow increases and helps to lower the bird’s body temperature.

We were watching a Common Tern and a Forster s Tern, not sure which one caught a fish.

No one has ever told me why this species is called an Ovenbird. Any guesses?
