Bison?

And behavioral and vocal differences too of course!

Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

Today, Orange County, CA, Irvine Regional Park.

Anybody who has a problem with Hoary Redpoll being a species, has a problem with me

Bird did not vocalize during observation. Wing reach down tail suggests HUVI? Not a good look at leg color.

Not much birding today. I’ll go with a California Scrub-Jay.

Me too! I've already lost Thayer's Gull.

Fox Sparrow for sure

You got it :)

Thanks, the talk went well! I talked about Birds and the Weather. Stuff like how birds stand on ice without apparent discomfort, what they do in storms, etc. I'll add some of that information to the new coloring book, since it's a favorite topic of mine. Have any of you had fun birding-related experiences, recently? Any new bird illustration projects, @The Bird Nuts?

Ross's Goose?

No No Snow Goose has been the closest guess so far

Well, was pretty close. Had guessed you were about 6' 3".(from the photo of you all muddy)

https://ebird.org/species/ruccoq1 These are really cool! The females are actually more colorful than thee males! There are only about 400 individuals left in the wild. Rats, feral cats and invasive plants species are the main cause of their decline. It's sad. https://ebird.org/species/juffir1/ This book talks all about hummingbirds. I really recommend it. https://www.amazon.com/Glitter-Green-Search-Hummingbirds/dp/1541601416/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1YDWBRWD3GB8P&keywords=the+glitter+hummingbird+book&qid=1675472517&sprefix=the+glitter+hummingbird+book%2Caps%2C293&sr=8-1

I'm 6' 4" & 280lbs. so if I look like a Squirrel no wonder they're following me 😝.

Very hard to choose from today. Probably a Bald Eagle on a nest! Though the Wood Storks were also pretty cool.

There's one of these on the loose in Central Park in NY right now. Got away from the Central Park Zoo, someone vandalized the enclosure 😦. https://ebird.org/species/eueowl1/
