Red-tailed Hawk
I don’t know if it’s the same hawk I saw yesterday, but it’s in roughly the same area.
A red-tailed hawk spotted along the bike path today.
Mourning Dove
Typical Mockingbirds
It just sat there perched on the wire while I took several photos. It seemed totally unconcerned.
Say’s Phoebe
I’m not 100% certain – the yellowish color is mostly from the sunset lighting – but the head doesn’t seem to have the shape I’m used to seeing on Black Phoebes, which I see a lot more of here, and I have seen Say’s Phoebes in the area.

House Finch
Lesser Goldfinch (fuzzy yellow, on small cable)
I heard the squirrel chattering, then turned to look for it and spotted it up in a magnolia tree
I heard the squirrel chattering, then turned to look for it and spotted it up in a magnolia tree. Surprisingly, it held still while I walked around the tree to get a better angle. Then after I took a few more pictures, it jumped off the branch onto a nearby house-turned-museum.
One of these days, after it’s opened again, I’m going to have to actually visit the museum and not just the park.

First time I’ve noticed a Northern Flicker…
First time I’ve noticed one of these birds, but they’re apparently all over North America: A Northern Flicker, a type of #woodpecker.
(I was kind of annoyed that it was on the shaded side of the tree, but I can’t really blame it. The late afternoon sun was really bright.)
Bluebirds
Dark-eyed Juncos (roof vent and giant cable bundle)
They were making a chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp song that sounded like a toy ray gun.
Mitred Parakeet
Not sure what kind of bird’s nest this was
Not sure what kind of bird’s nest this was, but I saw a hawk perched in the same tree.
House Finch
A couple of Black Phoebes spotted in the cherry grove.

Some days I spot a lot of birds at these gardens, some days (like on this one) I mostly just hear them. Though I was at least able to *see* some red-tailed hawks circling way up in the sky, even though I couldn’t get any photos of them.
