I've spent a lot of time trying to get a good picture of an Oak Titmouse. Part of what makes it difficult is that they are rarely still.

#WonderWhat gives them so much energy? It's all the seeds and insects they pick off from the barks of trees.

Such a joy to observe Burrowing Owls, swiveling their heads, curiously observing the world.

A Downy woodpecker looking for insects.

Read a bit about the differences between a Downy and Hairy woodpecker, and decided this is a Downy. Though not entirely confident.

Clark's Grebe.

Notice the difference between a Western Grebe (previous post) and a Clark's Grebe? These were thought to be the same species until 1985 until scientists learned of the differences between them.

#WonderIf red-eye reduction would work on these Western Grebes :P

A White-faced Ibis out of the silhouette.

This non-breeding adult is yet to develop the white facial outline that gives it its name.

A female red-winged blackbird. They look distinctly different from their male counterparts which are glossy black, with red and yellow shoulder badges.

Back after a brief hiatus.

Here is a Long-Eared Owl bathed in first light. Spotted taking a break during its early morning hunt.
