Flight to the sea.

Fluffy #birb.
(A #sparrow spotted on top of a light pole. I could *hear* it easily enough, but it took a while to spot it – and once I did, I was glad I had the zoom camera with me.)
If I could put time in a bubble…
I “spotted” some Pokemon in their natural environments while hiking today
On the lookout
The glowing surfboards of Redondo Beach.
The glowing surfboards of Redondo Beach. The lighting cycles through all different colors.
At first I thought the sculpture was supposed to be leaves.
I think it’s been about a year since a small fire burned in this corner of the marsh preserve
I think it's been about a year since a small fire burned in this corner of the marsh preserve. It's less obvious on the ground where new grass has grown, but it's clear to see on this tree where the fire burned and where it stopped.
I found this monarch flitting from bush to bush along the street.
I haven’t seen many #butterflies at all since winter hit, and figured the #monarch migration had long since passed further south, but I found this one flitting from bush to bush along the street.

Saw this #birb on a suburban bike path today. Some kind of Phoebe, apparently https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37541271
Red-Tailed Hawk (on transmission tower, early Jan.)
And this hawk(?) is definitely *not* a birb…but I saw it on the same bike path in the middle of the suburbs. It landed on a transmission tower and looked around for a few minutes before flying off. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37541270 #birds #nature

Hawkspotting on K2R
This solitary hawk(?) landed in the scaffolding of a transmission tower above a suburban bike path, and stayed there, looking around, while I walked closer to it. After a few minutes, it flew off to another tower.
I’m sure it’s storage or irrigation equipment, but I like to imagine an Escher-like entrance to some underground realm. #doorway
