Stork’s bill in a finch’s beak.
A bluebird spotted on a walk around the neighborhood.
Went for another hike today. I think this is the best photo from the walk. #nature

Vernal marsh pools
Birds of Madrona Marsh
#Birds of #MadronaMarsh. There were a zillion red-winged blackbirds, at least one group of goldfinches, some starlings, and of course the usual geese and ducks.

I saw one of these birds fly out of a bush, across the trail, and into a tree. I stopped. I waited. I looked, but couldn’t spot it.
I saw one of these #birds fly out of a bush, across the trail, and into a tree. I stopped. I waited. I looked, but couldn’t spot it. I took another, slow, careful step. Another #sparrow flew out of the bush, across the path, and into the tree. I stopped again.
This went on for about FIVE MORE ROUNDS before a couple of them flew into another bush and stopped where I could SEE them!
Then one of them flew off while I was aiming. 🤦

Caution thrown to the wind.
Well, that’s a #finch of a different color! A lesser #goldfinch and a #housefinch are both visiting the #birdfeeder.

Thought I’d try a black-and-white edit of the sunbeams in the park. I kinda like it!

Looking across the bay toward Catalina Island in the distance.
Hazy shade of a southern California winter.
There’s a former railroad route to the coast that’s been converted into a greenbelt and walking path lined with trees. Some parts (not these) specifically focus on native California plants. Others open into grassy parks.

Goldfinches in sunlight, house finches in silhouette.
Goldfinches in sunlight, house finches in silhouette. And there were a bunch of each, just at opposite ends of the park. (I suspect the glob of leaves next to the goldfinches is hiding a nest.)
