    Barn Owls

    This is a cavity in a cliff-face that used to be a nest site for Great Horned Owls. These Barn owls have decided that they might make a go of it for themselves.

    Dark-Eyed Junco

    California received record snows this last winter. This drove several species of bird into the yard, where I keep lots of food all day. This Junco sat on a snow drift on the top of the fence watching the other birds feeding below.

    House Finch and Dark-Eyed Junco

    A House Finch (left side bird) and a Dark-Eyed Junco staying warm. The Junco simply tucked it's head and went to sleep, while the House Finch looks drowsy. In any case, it is common behavior for birds to loft (fluff up) their feathers to stay warm. The space between feathers trapes body heat.

    Northern Harrier

    On a day trip my brother and I went looking for a Northern Harrier he ( my brother ) had sighted. This bird flew onto this snag where I was able to get several good images. The bird was quite confiding, and did not seem put off by my approach.

  11. Black-Chinned Hummingbird.

    Black-Chinned Hummingbird.

    This and the Anna's are very similar in appearence. So, ID of them takes a little experience and practice. The lack of diffiniteve markings in the chin and throat; lack of markings in the flanks; the shortened 1-3 rectrices help to ID this as a Black-Chinned

    Hermit Warbler

    Taken on a day trip up to Greenhorn sumit. This is a summer migrant. This is the first time I've been able to get an image of this species. Though I'm pleased to have the image, I'm not satisfied with the quality.
