Had to do some catching up but well worth it.
I sure appreciate the opportunity here to see and learn about birds without getting cold or needing too much patience.
I prefer to let the birds come to me. This one came a good distance. Again, I didn't personally go the 20 minutes or so to have a look myself. This photo is from the Vancouver Sun newspaper.

Willoughby; thanks for the good Harlequin photos. Besides their funny patterns, they have beautiful colors that can come out in the sun, not that I would ever see the colors. Funny to think of it now as Sunny Arcata. I lived years in Humboldt Co, and I never noticed them.
I never get tired of the Lewis's or for that matter Flickers or almost any of these photos. Tony and I saw Red Polls here in Seattle, but not well enough for my tastes and it's nice seeing how beautiful they are.
The Red-flanked Bluetail has been prominent on the birding lists up here. It's currently at Queen's Park in Vancouver. The Bewicks Wrens and some other birds are really starting to sing up here. It doesn't feel like Spring, though.

I was knocked out (figuratively) by one of those in Red Rocks and you've done it again. There is something about the way they flash that throat at you.

I went to the Kenai River to look for birds this afternoon. Not much around. I did see this Bald Eagle.
This is what the afternoon looked like, 28 degrees, no wind.

ekat... how sad!
I killed a western bluebird while birding along a road once... I stopped for a bit to do some viewing. When I started moving again my engine flushed some birds along the side of the road and the bolted every which way... one straight into my car fender! it made me wish I'd have stayed at home that day!
thanks Reilly for the Ireland beta!
I saw this bad boy in Santa Ynez... Vermilion Flycatcher! Thought I'd have to go to SE Arizona to see one... but saw one on the central cost of Cali!
Only bummer he was too far back to get a good photo... but he was a burning ember glowing bright on a cold gray day... spotted him 200' back from the fence line from a moving car! Let's just say I got out of the car before it completely stopped.

Clapper Rails on Saturday, at Arrowhead Marsh in Oakland.
One adult, then a juvenile with antenna, then another adult sighting, which
may have been the same bird as the first.
Adult and juvenile came within a couple of feet of each other.
This was at my minimum range for 7x35 binoculars.
Amyjo had to switch to naked eye.
Also, some really fast Western Grebes fishing in shallow water, throwing
wakes and making bait fish fly through the air.
