The Humboldt Little Bunting. How easy would it be to overlook this guy?

Herr heron LOOKS like he's freezing because it was 34 degrees back in town & who knows what out here in the sticks.How often does this happen? It's what makes bird-watching fun and challenging. The identification, well, I need a lot of work, since I have no background in ornithology.Merry Christmas to all the Bird Thread People!
If I get some flying reindeer shots this year, they're coming here, too.

Bob;
I'm always blown away by how different Song Sparrows are in their different ranges.
And
Kestrels are scarcer than hen's teeth up here, but like Northers Flickers I can never see too many photos of them.

Took a couple of photos during the Tahoe Christmas Bird Count last Saturday. We had 15 Bald Eagles, and I saw two different adults take an Eared Grebe and a coot. Here's the one that got the grebe:
Ugh, Silverlight is only letting me post the one for now. I might try to add some more later.

Brassnuts, that top one is a male Gila.
Still no love from the Silverlight letting me post more photos. That sh!t is finicky.

Did somebody say "peckers?"
Magellanic pecker, almost within 'city' limits of El Chalten.

Cosmic, nice xmas ufo!
I finally got the Varied Thrush at Yorba Reg. Pk. He took me 4 tries over 2 weeks. The next day my friend went over for a try and the Thrush's area had been radically trimmed totally ruining the habitat effect. We are hoping the Thrush has found another thicket to lurk in. No photos though.
Here are a few of the Snow Geese we got at the LA Cty. Christmas Bird Count. They were at the sewage treatment ponds out there (east of Palmdale). There were over 200 with a handful of Ross's Geese mixed in.
We also had a lone (late) Pectoral Sandpiper in Rosamond Dry Lake. It was the first one in 31 years for the CBC.

Mike, most excellent Red-shouldered! Indeed, he peered into the dark netherworld of my soul!
And, for the record, the Little Bunting is still packing them in up in
Humboldt. The well-heeled lot is flying in for the tick.

I saw a Great Horned Owl tonight as I drove home about 6:30PM. It was right on my road and flew to a nearby tree where I was able to spot it with a flashlight.
