Here is a great site for the Monterey area, including Moss landing.

All the best birds from the last year.

If you make it to the end of the page , go to the first one and take the 'birds at the feeder" test.

To add a little variety, it's Tropical Tanager Tuesday :-)

Yowza, BN!



Semi-acceptable...

Hermit Thrush...
Anybody know why I got those 'mirror images' of the leaves? Weird!

Poseur...

I thought the 2nd one was funny. Really, no one shot it!

And to help with the ID if it's not obvious:

Hey Reilly, the 'mirror' leaves in your thrush pic suggest motion artifact - perhaps it was windy enough to move the leaves although the Thrush was frozen... If it wasn't wind or another source of branch motion, I'm not sure, maybe a weirdness with IS... Yah, getting the correct DOF with long focal lengths can be challenging.

Though terribly cold today, being able to watch the Robins and other birds enjoy our heated bird bath was worth it. If I could take better photos, you'd see even more birds. It was non-stop! Had to refill the baths several times today!

Crimpergirl, love the birds at the heated bird bath. I have a heated water bowl for my birds, but I have never had a bird party like yours.
With single digit or below temps the birds are far and few between around these parts.

I *think* with the deep freeze, it was one of the few places birds had to drink. There were TONS of Robins, Starlings, Jays, Doves...everything! A very fun show to watch while I worked.

They were back today and I got a better photo.


It's not obvious because you can't see the cinnamon undertail coverts, but it has them. To prove it, ;-)

And one of it's common cousins. We have big flocks of them now.

White-bellied Sea-eagle, a long way from the ocean, with a strange looking fish
