I saw a handful of these hopping around in the dry grass until they flew off.

House Sparrow
Earth, daisies.
These plum leaves are deep red in spring.
This bluebird was perched near this tree, possibly even on the same post…
This #bluebird was perched near this tree, possibly even on the same post, but the moment I snapped the shutter, it flew up to a nearby roof. So I tried to get a decent angle on it, and was about to walk away when it flew back to the tree, landing on this post, grooming itself for a few moments, and then stopping to look around.

Western Honey Bee
I thought I’d posted this a while back, but apparently I haven’t. Think of it as #AmongUs: Vegetable Edition.

I do appreciate the bandage motif for the distancing markers at this urgent care. (Everything’s ok, this was the follow-up visit to an injury last week.)

Ramona Quimby
Statue of Ramona Quimby, one of several inspired by Beverly Cleary characters in Grant Park in Portland, Oregon. Photo from a trip in 2013.
TBH, though, Atlas Obscura got better photos than I did

Lesser Goldfinch (yellow and black, on cables)
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.
