Quite a good day birding at The Los Angeles Arboretum And Botanical Garden! Very happy about the owl lifer. I saw 2 different owl individuals in different places. When I saw the second great horned owl I saw a bunch of birders! A big group of at least 7 birders with big camera setups and tripods! Made my old D300 and 70-300mm lens look like a toy! Anyways my computer and phone Ebird claims that the order of my lifers is the opposite. On my phone it says I say the Bewick's Wren first, while my computer says I saw Indian Peafowl first. I just went with my phone because that's what I normally use.

50. Bewick's Wren
51. Red-crowned Amazon
52. Nuttall's Woodpecker
53. Downy Woodpecker
54. Great Horned Owl
55. Indian Peafowl

Two excellent new birds for the year seen during a quick stop after work.

The duck is rare in this area and the cormorant is scarce, a bird that could be missed in any given year.

Warblers are starting to make their way through my area.
