Black Phoebes are one of those birds that I never noticed until a couple of years ago, but now I see them *all the time*. I’m fairly certain they’ve been here all along and I just wasn’t paying enough attention to birds before.

I saw a few dozen wigeons swimming in the pond as well. Some of them were swimming in male/female pairings, while some of the males were making whistling/squeaky noises and displaying their wings.
I think this pair of mallards might be the only ones I saw in the pond. Mostly I saw coots, wigeons and gulls.
There were about a dozen seagulls swimming in the pond, and half as many walking around on the sidewalk.

Sometimes I see a *lot* of geese wandering around the park or swimming in the pond. Today I only saw three: these two across the pond in the tiny wildlife “sanctuary,” and another that was standing on the near side of the pond a few feet away from someone (else) who was taking pictures of it.
There were about four of these sparrows walking around the ground in the shelter of a bush and pecking at the ground.
This pair of ducks was walking around an area of the park away from the pond.
One of a pair of bluebirds I saw perched on a cable. One of them flew off as I approached, stopped on a nearby lawn, then flew back up to perch on the edge of a roof. The other waited on the cable

And one more in this series of “Birds against blurry backgrounds” from Monday’s walk, a black phoebe.
I like how this dark-eyed junco came out, too.
I saw a *lot* of different birds on a walk in the park yesterday. Here are two Western Bluebirds – one male and amazingly bright blue, the other either female or a juvenile male. I’m not happy with the image noise on the first one, but I *really* like the way the second one came out.
