Yesterday it was over 80F. Today it is a cool 69F. Little rain. Still, life continues. New growth on a pine at the local garden, where flowers are in bloom everywhere. A walk in the open space nearby found mockingbirds singing away, looking for wives, and staking out their territory. It’s a stunning time of year.
This was my favorite of all the pictures I took. I wonder if he is a sparrow, like two of the others were. I’ve posted this picture on flickr, and soon we may know!
Note: This is a bushtit!
Here is another of the four “good” bird pics I got over the weekend . . . having never been a bird watcher, once I began looking a little more closely, I really got into it. New hobby? Certainly a pleasant way to spend some time.
Don’t know what this fella is, so the word is out . . .
Note: This is a young White-Crowned Sparrow, as opposed to the old ones from a few days ago.
