Wow, lot of great photos as usual.
It's mountain climbing season here so not much time for the birds but today there were a pair of Blue-and-yellow Tanagers in the backyard.

Love this thread!
What beautiful birds, those Blue and Yellow Tanagers.
I saw a headless California Towhee in Agua Dulce
But not for long...

Beautiful Yellows!
You have to be correct, but the House Finch seemed to have an even more massive than normal bill.

I was in Sacramento last week visiting my parents. I took some photos of backyard birds, nothing exotic. I also went birding at the UC Davis Arboretum and got two new life birds, the herons.

Thanks Bob D'A, Timid TopRope and Darwin.
Timid it was just a fast five days in Sacramento with Portland on the weekends before and after to see my sons. I needed to check on the folks, they are getting older and I am the closest distance wise to them. I will be back sometime when I have more time and I would enjoy the Chico tour.
Darwin, no new camera. I have had the Canon SX50 HS for a while now. I was just closer to the birds being in a more urban setting.

So I go to the Bosque to look for warblers, out jumps a huge cat, I'm saying mountain lion about fifteen feet in front of me. He ran through the water and then looked back at me. I was a little stunned. I just love that place.

Boy, the International Doping Agency needs to check my Coop chicks for using
BGH - Bird Growth Hormones. They may not be here tomorrow...
But Mum still isn't taking anything for granted...
Uh-Oh, the Stinkeye!
UH-OH!!!
TAKE COVER!!!!!!
That was last night. This morning I went out for the paper and looked up
at the chicks in the nest. I didn't see Mum and only stood there for 30 seconds
when I heard a WHOOSH!!! as she mussed my hairdo from behind. No claws
though so I thanked her.

Great shots above you all!
I found a Orange-cheeked Waxbill today at HB Central Park, it only took 2 years. He would not come out of the grass and tree I saw him in, very shy.

The Waxbill above was flocking with the Nutmeg Mannikins.
Lots of young birds around right now.

Northern Waterthrush, gosh these guys are hard to photograph. I hear them all the time, but seeing one for more than a few seconds is difficult.
