Took this from my kayak in Little Sarasota Bay. Sorry for the blur, it was rough water that day.

I have Thurs.-Sat., so any combo.

We had an Oriole party/invasion in the yard today. Male Bullock's and Hooded, female Bullock's and Hooded and a juvy Hooded male. Didn't get a shot of the male Hooded (today). I see them all regularly but usually not at the same time.

A Black-throated Blue Warbler showed in December up at a feeder 15 miles north of my house. This escaped my and most of the local birders for a while, but the buzz has been growing. I really wanted to cycle up there to see it, but between the thunder lightning and rain, I drove up there today. And effing-A but I saw it. Sorry I don't have my photos, but here's a link to Hank Heiberg's photos.

It was pretty.

Meanwhile spring has sprung here.



FOY from today.

BrassNuts is out on the wall in Black Velvet right now. Thought I'd post a few shots from our recent trip to High Island Tx.

Ooh, love the Spoonbill!

I'm up for whatever you guys want to do the week after next. Maybe San Joaquin and Bolsa Chica (Great-horned nest there)on Sat? Those 2 spots are so good you could even go twice. There are lots of other good places as well. You guys are the "guests" so feel free to decide.
Also, I climb at Rockreation on Tues. and Thursdays and can get at least one guest in free, maybe more.

I went to Starr Ranch (unfortunately private) yesterday birding and am going back tonight for an "Owl Prowl", although we had Barn and Great-Horned yesterday. The highlight yesterday were Grasshopper Sparrows. They are a hard "get" around here, very secretive.

Yesterday after Starr I went to Irvine Park to check on the Western Screech Owl cavity and find Lesser Nighthawks (and watch the full moon rise). He wasn't there but could be tomorrow, hard to say. I did get 3 Nighthawks, good viewing but no photo ops. When the light was good they were too far away and when they came close it was too dark for my camera.

A couple pics from Starr.

Birdapalooza will be good times! Here is a proposed 'schedule', cast your vote:
1. Thurs-RPV area for anyone interested. Maybe meet at lower Trump public parking at 7:30am, check out the trails and coast, then north a little to the point etc, then maybe south coast botanic gardens or other area parks.
2. Friday- OC tour. Local palooza experts pick starting place and time. :-)
3. Saturday- OC tour. Start at San Joaquin at 8am? Then move on to Bolsa Chicago etc. Local palooza experts to advise meeting place for San Joaquin...

Sound like a decent plan??
