So, I now have a Western Screech-Owl that calls a cavity not 10-12 feet from my front door, home. This is from last Saturday morning as it was returning to its roost. I have posted this bird once before, but I think this picture is better. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/487897981

A very cooperative Northern Parula from last May

Rare I get to see Ovenbirds well enough to get even a half way decent pic, but I thought this came out really well. :) https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/487876891

A Venezuelan Troupial, I always love to see and hear these birds https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/485825051

Crazy Migration the last few days,this blackburnian was nice to see.

I'll go with the Chuck-will's-widow, one of my 8 lifers today. Check the lifers thread in 10 minutes or so for more about my day. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/489439801#_ga=2.202694612.453906290.1662158216-1648492956.1640720797

I couldn't get a clean shot of this Black-Throated Gray Warbler in the Mojave Desert.....I did try, but it wasn't happening. A lifer for me.

American Redstart

Snowy Owl from the first week of September! Apparently he's been hanging out in the area all summer.

I doubt anyone else has a photo like this!

Probably this one. By the way, your bluebird photos are stunning!

This House Wren didn't seem to care too much that I was only a few feet from it. Nothing was going to stop it chattering away. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/489831821

In the last few weeks I got lifers: Purple Martin, Connecticut warbler (rare), White-tailed ptarmigan (!), rose-breasted grosbeak, and Mourning Warbler. And county lifers: black-and-white warbler, chestnut-sided warbler, green heron (rare), black-throated green warbler (rare), blue-headed vireo, bay-breasted warbler, townsends warbler, rufous hummingbird, calliope hummingbird, olive-sideded flycatcher, and palm warbler. First time I’ve been home for peak migration, I’m usually in BC for the last few weeks of August into September so I always miss it by a few days. Though, the lifers and excitement have definitely stalled out the last few days 😪.

This one had me cry-laughing my head off 🤣
