I saw this squirrel from about 20 feet away. It slowly moved toward me, pausing to pose every few feet. I think it was hoping I would feed it.

CAW!
This shot of the same Black Phoebe came out a lot better!
This shot of the same Black Phoebe (after it started to fly off, then decided to just land back on another post) came out a lot better!

I always think birds look weird when you can only see the backs of their heads.
#Fotofails: I had a lot of trouble getting the camera to focus on this Black Phoebe and not the tree behind it, but that wasn’t the problem in this shot. I always think birds look weird when you can only see the backs of their heads.

There are decorative palm trees all along the street. And some opportunistic seeds from them.
One! Singular sensation!

A zillion starlings were moving back and forth between the greenbelt and an electrical transmission tower.

About a dozen birds hopping around in the grass near a bike path and on the concrete under an electrical tower. From a distance I thought they were all the same, but iNat suggests that some are pipits and others are warblers.

Cooper’s Hawk (Takeoff!)
A Cooper’s Hawk I spotted on a walk around the neighborhood.
I heard a *lot* of sparrows chirping in a tree behind a house. Then this hawk flew up and perched on the nearest telephone pole and the sparrows all just dropped silent. It stayed up there for a few minutes, then flew to the next pole, then flew off out of view.
The photos aren’t great, but I like that I managed to catch it this clearly. The last one I saw, I only had my phone with me.
