Canada Jay. Yellowstone NP. These birds are so tame and so delightful to be around. 🪶
Great birds. We see them around the sand flats along San Diego Bay. Same place where the killdeer like to nest. Sweet song. 🪶
Here’s a Granite spiny lizard, and a Yarrow spiny lizard. Very pretty lizards. 🦎 🌿 took the first one here in California mountains, and the other one was in southeastern Arizona mountains.
Definitely a kite. Here’s a white tailed kite that we have here in California. Striking red eyes. 🪶
Western fence lizard aka blue belly, for anyone who needs to see it. He gave me the eye, did a few pushups, and took off. 🌿🦎
Male American kestrel dining on top of a coast cholla cactus. This cactus grows like a high wall in dense thickets. Bloom on the right. 🌿🪶
Yellow crowned night heron patrolling along a jetty looking for crabs. 🪶
Good morning. Kayakers on San Diego Bay as the fog over the city lifts.
Cute kid. He’ll be smarter than some people we know in a matter of months. 🤣. Here’s a scruffy young California scrub Jay in my neighborhood. 🪶
Mexican cactus fly visiting a flowering toyon bush or anyone who needs to see it. 😎🌿#invetebrate
Took this one a few months ago. Male American kestrel quaking in fear of plastic great horned owl decoy. 🌿🤣🪶
