Wrens have Personality!
I had a good feeling about today when I saw this guy on the roof of the pier...
Went whale/boid watching today. Beauteous day although no whales.
Boids were not in big numbers but a bad day whale/boid watching beats, uh, anything?
Black-vented Shearwater showing those underwings, thank you...
Best sighting: leucistic Black-vented...
Mystery shearwater- darker, and whiter underneath and it would
seem partially leucistic nor cooperative by flying away...
Common dolphin...
How many sea lions can fit in a phone booth?

In case you don't all know Dave(Brassnuts) had shoulder surgery today. I hear he's out OK. But enough about the best photographer on this thread, let's talk about me.
This is a hike&bike lifer for me. I know Cyndie probably sees them and gets good photos all the time, but I was pretty excited. I had to make two cross 1/2 town bike rides to see them. The little "dears" tend to sit up pretty high in trees to I'm more pleased with these photos than their quality would indicate. (id at the bottom).
Oh, and ps in edit: come back BobDA.

A few first edits from the trip CG and I took south of Puerto Vallata a couple of weeks ago. Lots of very cool birds down there!

Great 10B4Me. We'll have to start thinking about dates, looking at calendars, etc. It's always great fun.
Should we concentrate on a new area this year in the LA area?

Is it bad form to post pics of dead birds? I have some pretty impressive specimens on film but will defer to the thread ethos without further question or comment. Perhaps the OP could weigh in?

My thoughts (for what they are worth) is deceased birds are okay as long as they are not gratuitous, gross and that they must have educational value. Not sure how others feel.

If it wasn't for road kills I wouldn't have gotten my first Rose-breasted Grossbeak!
But I think we could pretty much agree that sh!t happens but, just so you know,
it go badly for you if parrots are involved. Jess sayin'....
GHOW, one of two I found. I was wondering what they had succumbed to
and then I saw the skeeter on my arm. DOH! W Nile was rampant then.
Post 8500! Woot!

If you are talking about stuffed birds, I am opposed.
