Ridgway's rail, February 2023, San Diego County, California #birds #wildlifephotography I had seen an eBird sighting from the day prior and it was a minimal detour at the end of the trip (other than annoying parking). The moment we got to the water, the rail popped out for us.

A ridgway's rail walks along the river bank. Normally quite reclusive, this one was in nearly full view.

A sign in Linn Park describes the history of the spot on the river. On the right side of the sign, it tells readers that they might see a white-throated dipper on a rock and shows such a picture.

Short-eared owl at Shawangunk Grasslands NWR. The owls didn't come up until after sunset, so the tech specs on this were more extreme than normal: 600mm @ f/4, 1/500, ISO 64000.

A short-eared owl flies low across the grasses hunting. It gazes back over its shoulder.
