Lovely bird sightings! My favorite pics are of the Black Phoebe and the flower.
Hello Mae :=
The Black Phoebe is such a cute adorable little bird, and not one I see often, and it's my favourite of your fabulous captures.
All the best.
Hello Mae,
It is nice to see the pretty blossoms, it is too early here for the Spring blooms. I love all your birds and photos. Pretty captures of the Little Blue Heron and the Snowy Egret. The Bluebird is lovely and the Phoebe is a cutie. I would love to see the Acorn Woodpecker. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
I recognize those yellow feet. We have Eastern, not Western, Bluebirds and the Acorn Woodpecker and the Black Phoebe are new to me.
Lovely photos.
The snowy egret is one we rarely see. They are so frilly and beautiful. Lots of neat birds on this outing!
How beautiful! I love bird watching from my window!
I always love the bird photos
We used to have friends in Sacramento, CA, both considerably older than us, and they are now both gone, but Black Phoebe was Ellen's favourite bird, so much so that we took to calling it Ellen's Phoebe - and it stuck! Miriam and I still refer to it as Ellen's Phoebe.
Cool bird photos - I find them SO hard to photograph - they're either moving or hidden in the branches or too far away. I guess I don't have the patience to wait for the right moment. These are great!

Hopefully the birds and blooms mean that warmer weather is coming soon. Lovely pictures.
Sounds like a fun nature walk! I have a photo of a bird in my post today, but your photos are way better. :)
You take excellent photos. You seem to capture the birds close up. Neat colors. I will be going to SoCal in April and hopefully will have good weather then. Your hotel looks to have good views & location.
Lovely photos! We were just talking about how few birds have been around here since Hurricane Ian... I miss them.
What a lovely collection, Mae, and beautiful photos.
Those are nice bird pictures.
Have a great week.
