A #mockingbird I caught just after it took off.
Or is it a mockingbirb?
Butterfly-friendly native CA plants purchased from a local conservation group have collected a caterpillar! Looks like a Sphynx moth.
Now I just need to finish transplanting the rest of the plants into the actual ground!
#Clover. One flower out of a field.

And in related news, this confirms that @pixelfed now supports image uploads from @Tusky !
(That’s been the one thing missing from just using the Pixelfed website on my phone: it works great in a browser or as an installed PWA, but uploads can only start in the website. You can’t start with a photo gallery and share images to the site or PWA.)
Went for another hike today. I think this is the best photo from the walk.
I saw one of these #birds fly out of a bush, across the trail, and into a tree. I stopped. I waited. I looked, but couldn’t spot it. I took another, slow, careful step. Another #sparrow flew out of the bush, across the path, and into the tree. I stopped again.
This went on for about FIVE MORE ROUNDS before a couple of them flew into another bush and stopped where I could SEE them!
Then one of them flew off while I was aiming. 🤦
Context: I was driving past a park that has a pond with a year-round population of ducks and geese and attracts other waterfowl. Usually near the pond.
This isn’t. It’s at the edge of the park. I pulled over because there was a whole…duckload of mallards just grazing their way down the street along the grass.
Hawthorn Flowers. In this area they start blooming in winter and keep going thrown spring.
Caution thrown to the wind.
Well, that's a #finch of a different color!
A lesser #goldfinch and a #housefinch are both visiting the #birdfeeder.
Thought I'd try a black-and-white edit of the sunbeams in the park. I kinda like it!
Looking across the bay toward Catalina Island in the distance.
Hazy shade of a southern California winter.
