This is a portrait of a vigilant male California Quail wondering what's next for his family in this changing, unprecedented world. They're a western bird with a range from SW Canada to the tip of Baja California, Mexico.

Try "Merlin" a free app from Cornell that accurately ID's birds around the world by your photos and sound recording. Not 100% of course, but amazing. You've probably heard of it. You've taken some great photos!

This is a great portrait, Glen!

WTF!

Ha, good one! Never thought of that until now!

Beautiful!

Red, brown, black, yellow, and white - birds of a feather need to flock together... This American Coot chick (also, called a "cootie") looks out at their big, new, and crazy world.

A belated thank you!

Thank you, kindly!

Just another reason the U.S. is an embarrassment and scourge of the earth, in addition to being complicit in the starvation that’s happening in Gaza. It’s wonderful to see your group doing some goodness in the world. “Fair winds and following seas!”

I sure as hell hope you’re right!!

Thank you kindly, Alex!

Thank you, Jeope!

Thank you, but no it is a photo

Normally a flycatcher, this Black Phoebe wants to change things up, just like so many of us do! Birds without borders, they live from SW Oregon and California through Central America to Argentina.

Amazing birds without borders, Whimbrels are found on every continent except for Antarctica. The Pacific birds can fly up to six days nonstop between the Arctic and the southern tip of South America.

Wonderful work!

American Avocets are birds with no borders traveling freely through Canada, United States, Mexico, Cuba and others. An amazing fact is that chicks leave the nest within one day after hatching.

Your fishing boat photos bring back some good memories. I lived and fished in Shelter Cove, CA. and also did some tuna fishing on the Amy Lyn and a few other boats, including wooden ones! Am now retired from tugboats. (ship assist) in the San Francisco Bay.

Beautiful!

Thank you, kindly!

Great capture!

Most Hepatic Tanagers winter south of the border and migrate north each spring to breed in mountains throughout the Southwest. Welcome, my migrant friends from Mexico, Central America, and S. America.

Bellisimo !

Rose-breasted Grosbeaks make a model for monogamous avian relationships. They range from Canada to South America and are long distant migrants that can easily cover 500 miles non-stop.

Viva o Brasil!

Yes, unlimited gophers and moles!

"Staredown" -- My local resident Red-Shouldered Hawk from N. California starts off a little portrait series.

Very cool! I'm surprised there's only one. They seem to prefer water/reed environments in Caiifornia.

A regal pose from a Red-winged Blackbird in N. California. Often in great flocks, migration is gender-specific. About a month apart , both male and females travel freely between Mexico and the U.S.
