If I want to change the hummingbird feeders or water the plants on my deck, which is on the third floor, I have to sneak out in a hurry because if the scout for the crows sees me then everyone comes over. I am honored by their friendship actually.

Absolutely gorgeous. We just came back from San Diego’s local Desert Anza Borrego catching the last visibility we will have the Milky Way for a while and some meteors. So humbling and fantastic.

Blue heron with chicks we need to do a little more run was my worst experience with projectile urates. But I got the shot.

My relationship with crows is a little bit more intimate. They stare I to my bedroom. 😂🪶

Oh my God. That is the coolest murder of crows I have ever seen. And to think I get overwhelmed when 20 of them show up here for peanuts. 😂. Bravo amigo.

This Indigenous Peoples Day, we reject the glorification of militarism and colonialism. This is the colonial history of militarism.

Shorebirds hunkering down during the big high tide before the rain. Mostly Marbled godwits and Willets and a few short billed dowitchers. 🪶

I try to discourage the fishermen from feeding this bird who has earned the name Mooch, to no avail.

That’s very good. Also a fantastic bird.

We call him Mooch and he shamelessly begs fishermen for food, something I try to discourage, but not much I can do.

Brown pelican greeter at the entrance to the restaurant at the end of the pier yesterday. 🌿🪶

High tide and south swell before the rain even hit.

But wait - there’s more! Don’t block me. Some schools of fish were swimming by the end of the pier & one of the young Cocos boobies went for it. 🪶

Thanks. It’s a thrill to see these birds when I’m not on a moving boat.

Great fun. Had to get the fishermen out of the way. 😂.

More of the Cocos boobies & a few “ extras” from the end of the pier this morning.The adult in the first shot was camera shy and was under the pier.

Bunch of horny dudes named those birds. 😂😂

I heard a few out in the desert before we drove home to the coast.

Of course you are and I expected as much. 😂

Yes, very similar, but chipmunks have stripes that extend onto their heads. I’m glad I learned that because it helps me distinguish.
