bpresby Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 After a 18 mile round trip hike with almost 5,000 feet vertical gain (and decent) I managed to get a few bird pics in. On the longer hikes I stopped bringing my good camera due to its weight. Both taken yesterday on the San Bernardino Peak trail at 9,000 feet for the first and 10,500 (right at the peak) for the second. 1) Clark's Nutcracker. Not great pictures but matches with the guide book and the call was unique 2 Purple Finch I think. Here is a video of the call of the Clark's Nutcracker (If I'm right) one flies in at the end that also helped me with the ID). It's my first uploaded video so I hope it works. Thanks for the help.

akandula Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 The photos and videos of the birds on the tree are indeed Clark's Nutcrackers. The finch on the ground is actually a female-type Cassin's Finch. Note the white eye-arcs and distinct streaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
