That makes 40 species for the day at little Fred Baca Park in Taos.

Wow, you guys, great photos from all the usual suspects!!
I was working in Barstow for the last week and a half saw MANY House Sparrows (aka English Sparrow). I missed the bird thread.
Went climbing at New Jack City 3 times after work,super fun place! My New Jack (bird) list now stands at about 8 species, best one, Chukar. We had a number (4?) of Great-horned Owls. One landed on top of our shade structure in camp late one night, no photos though.

Bird Bath View
Pressing down the layered hues of blue and grey,
Dense clouds lit by sun unseen holds the earth at bay,
Atmospheric pressure holds the olive trees that gently sway,
This alkaline and dry lake grit beneath my feet today,
The scorched and peeling skin around my claws is near burned away,
"Babawk!" this bird bath view is all I have to say,
In this former paradise where all my friends did play,
One by one they all forsook me saying it would never pay,
Such laws of luck and fortune I'm not inclined to obey,
Now this bird bath full of droppings and dead leaves is so full of decay,
I cannot smell myself at all and that's probably ok,
For the raptors won't approach not even alley cat the stray,
Good for a bird who cannot fly and and who has never learned to pray,
To a god who's more likely another bird I'd venture if I may,
A phoenix of the cosmos fitted with full solar array,
Of electromagnetic feathers but the feet just made of clay,
But what's a flightless bird to do but flap his wings and flay,
This bird bath view obscured by shadow all I can relay.

I've been wanting to get birds in flight, so this was practice. Really it wasn't just an excuse to post to this thread:
Just on my commute today I began to think the summer doldrums might be changing. I got good looks at Sharp Shinned Hawk (good look at the legs), Green Heron in good light, Osprey with either nesting material or fish in lake grass and this photo of B. Kingfisher.
