I'm having a great trip so far...really beautiful country and people.

Got this guy walking around the hostel this AM.


Also got a gray hawk a few other birds. Two southern Lapwings dive bomb me for about 15 minutes...nasty freaking birds.

Dee ee...not to hard to rack them up down here, look in any tree and wait a minute, you'll get birds. :-)

Another pesky wren,,, very short tail, heavily barred belly. The smallest wren I have ever seen. Got this one on the trail by the river across from fern springs in Yosemite. Deep shade on a rainy day. Male and female flitting about,, sure they had a nest near by.

This one's got to be a winter wren.

Is that a tern Dee?

Hey 10b4me, what is that bird and where from?

Dave, good question. I was hoping you guys could identify it

This was in my friends front yard in Tucson

TTR, thank's for the confirmation I think I will call the other one a "wren like bird" LOL..

Here are a couple of shot's I got of Forster's terns flying over Elkhorn Slough near Watsonville. Very elegant.




It is fun watching them crash down in the water and come up flying.





And Bob, I wonder why the Whooping MotMot needs those little rudder feathers at the end of its tail. Maybe part of it's display?

A GULL-BILLED TERN

Not a big deal except...

IT IS A SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY FIRST!

Found on the beach at Oceano. I paid $2.50 and drove right up to it and snapped this picture. This place is the nearest beach to my house.

I love it when a plan comes together!
