    Yes, the barn owl. Unfortunately, I never got to see it perched on the restaurant (if I had seen it's face I wouldn't have held out hope for something else:-O)-- I think you saw it several times there and alerted me. I finally saw it several times flying over the lagoon but never got a really...

    Hi Bryan, When I saw your work here, I thought I recognized it. I went to your links and, sure enough, I had seen your work before. My husband Gene and I met you in Chiapas, Mexico. We were on the Serendipity 43, Peregrine. I wrote a blog post about your beautiful work and posted a link to...

    Don't have a new garden bird, but I had to post this update. The grandchild camping trip was mostly containing and entertaining the kids. Didn't have a chance to bird except casually. Last week I packed my new camping gear and took off for the Sequoias. Got my American Dipper!!

    35. Great Egret My neighbor has seen this 'crane' a few times. I went out to go to the grocery store and it was in the front yard! Had time to run in and get my camera. He was checking out my neighbor's shrubbery. Wonder what he finds so attractive here.

    |:$| |:$|Not all in the same day. I just failed to add the others when I saw them. I went to post the Bushtits and noticed that the last bird I had on BF was the Barn Owl, but on my paper garden list, I had the other two written down. I didn't realize I hadn't posted them.

    Thanks, Richard. Not really sure how realistic it is to get one. It's quite a drive from the camp-site to where some were listed on ebird from 2004. LOL Even so, if I can do a day trip, I might get lucky. I haven't been birding for so long, I'm just happy to go and be in a different...

    My daughter and I are going on a road trip with my four youngest grandchildren. We are going up to Northern Cal to the Redwoods. I have a chance to add a few good birds to my 2017 list and possibly a lifer if I can get my target bird: American Dipper. I ordered two sets of cheapo binoculars so...

    I probably wouldn't have if it hadn't been for my neighbor! I've gotten her interested in birding. She's gone out with me a few times and I've loaned her a few bird books. She has a miniature schnauzer and walks it several times a day. She often goes out for night walks. One night she texted...

    Went out to the laundry facilities this morning and got a Warbling Vireo in the carrotwood trees behind my apartment . Just now, I went out to get a couple of shots of my back area to post and got an American Robin. I was upset a few days ago because the business complex behind us trimmed the...

    Very common bird, but first I've seen in our complex. Pitiful when even the most common of Southern Cal birds is such a thrill!;) 26. California Towhee And another! 27. Hooded Oriole (I had seen one in Leisure World, but not from my house.)

    Did the same thing with his original Booby comment with 'Just like this." Didn't notice thiswas a different color at first. Inland boobies wasn't an April Fool's Day joke, and hope springs eternal!

    Thanks for hoping for me--a few blocks too far inland to get that lucky though! I have heard of that one and various boobies in San Diego County. Well, maybe one of these years we'll have Peregrine up here and I can birdwatch while we sail to Catalina. Won't help this skimpy garden list, but...
