White Pelican



A juvenile White-crowned Sparrow.



He was having a snack on the side of the road.



A Snowy Egret.



This seems to be the common shot I get of all Red-tailed Hawks.



This handsome fellow is a Northern Harrier. Same 'white' hawk that Becky pointed out to me in the car way back. He sat there a long time and didn't seem to care.



A juvenile Black-crowned Night-Heron. Same bird I posted for all those weeks fishing at the stream.



A fish eagle. Also known as an Osprey.



A pair of Double-crested Cormorants.

So far some great shots... but no new birds. In fact I only got one new bird today.



What is this. Hmmmm.


Looks promising.



Ah ha! A Barn Owl!




I had read on a local birdwatching site about a place they dubbed 'Owl Canyon'. I've never seen an owl, so I decided to give it a go. As we were pulling up to the place the conversation was as follows.

"I dunno if this is the place C- Oh what's that?!"

"...that's an owl."


We saw four or five barn owls just circling around. This sweet little face brings my total bird count up to a grand total of 99 birds photographed and identified. What will be the grand number 100!? Stay tuned!
