Dan P Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Taken on 4-29-2021 in the morning at Bear Divide in Angeles National Forest (between Canyon Country and Lake View Terrace, CA). Ongoing migration count and banding station. I can't tell if this is a Wrentit or a female Bushtit. These are the only two photos I have of it.

Dan P Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Thanks everyone. That's another new one for me. That makes 7 new species that have been identified from my photos from yesterday -- and I still have several more to ID. I went to a migration counting and banding operation for the first time. It was great to see how that all works. I was amazed at how they could immediately identify the passerines in flight. I have to take pictures, then come home and do research to identify most of them -- even the ones sitting still. If anyone wants to see my partial checklist, its here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S86692306 And feel free to let me know if I've mis-identified any with photos (or without photos if you're that good).

I’d say I hear 10 a day, but very , very rarely get visuals( secretive). They are common down here in SoCal, but way more often heard then seen.
