Bob, what is that bird 2 sets above second one down?
Rob, you've got good action in your large yard!
Yesterday we had our Summer Pelagic trip. Pretty good for me, I got 2 lifers, Ashy Storm Petrel and Craveris Murrelet and got Pomerine Jaeger for county year.
The coolest thing we saw was a very large Hammerhead Shark! I'm guessing it was 15 feet long? We saw one last trip but this time I got perfect views of the head as he came under the boat. It was rad! The pics did not come out though, bummed.

Had this Bobcat pop up this morning at San Joaquin. He didn't see me at first and was 10 feet away. He strolled down the path and then heard me fumbling with the camera and hopped up on the wall.

Dee ee - I think that second bird is a weakly colored Lazuli Bunting. Youngster maybe?
LOVE the Kia photos - every darn one of them. Hope you get more photos of them. I hope he really didn't lose his partner. That does make birds very sad.

Crimpie, I like the shade of blue, bill shape and the wing bars for LABU but I don't see the "watermelon seeds' on the throat in any of my guides. I think you are right but...hmm... anyone else?

howdy to all.
Nice photos Bob. You've really been carrying the torch. I've been wrapped up in the World Cup as of late. Back to the birds now.
Agree with Crimpie, juvenile Lazuli Bunting.
Dave, Sooty Shearwaters? Congrats on the 2 lifers.

Wow - so many good birds and great shot Bob!
That is not a bobcat I think. Gnarly domestic tom is the more likely ID.
