A flock of vultures roosted in my pine tree last night.
We almost never see these guys around here. Maybe once every few years when they're passing through.

Tony, there is a new Osprey nest in the OC. I hope it lasts, at UCI.

Vultures are back.
We rarely ever see vultures here in East Redlands. When we do, it's in the early evening. I've never seen one during daylight here, and this morning it looked like Buzzard Woodstock!

Great photos! I went to a raptor rehab place outside of St. Louis once. Best park was a giant pen of turkey vultures. They saw me and ran over in the way that TVs run. Love it! So curious they were pulling on my clothes and camera strap (through the chain link fence). They are sweet and important birds
The baby Flickers are adorable! We get many at our home we call "V-heads". They are Red-Shafted, but have the red V (some full, some partial) on the back of their heads like their yellow-shafted cousins.

Darwin, yes I went to the Iditarod start. I got away from the crowd and waited on the river to see the mushers. It was fantastic! Also came up to see and photograph the International Ice Carving Championship and hopefully see the Northern lights. No luck on the lights yet.

Dave,
I guess that is Osprey nest #4 in OC. It looked like the adult might have been feeding young? Was this posted, so that Jim Pike knows about it?
Osprey nesting season is getting into swing in the SF Bay. It seems to be about two months behind SoCal. The nests are on a variety of structures
A few nests are on structures expressly installed for the Osprey to divert them from other structures such as utility poles.
The population has grown enough that there are frequent skirmishes over available nest sites.

This goofball showed up a week ago, checking out all the action at my seed feeder. I put up the sugar water and a few days later he reappeared, and has been here since. March 5th, 5964' elevation. I guess we're just skipping winter this year. He's singing up a storm today.
Also today, the bluebirds are taking inventory on all the cavities in the 'hood. I've seen as many as 11 file into this box at twilight in years past.
