The morning light was good for this female cardinal.

Ever since the baby Le Conte's Thrasher learned to fly over the fence, he pretty much stays here all day. Lots of opportunity for photos since he's now my buddy......And watch out for those long beaks when parent feed them.

I don't have Hummingbird feeders so I have to rely on flowers to attract them. Problem is this is worst flower season I have ever seen here in the Mojave Desert (these droughts have really taken their toll here)....... But this Willow Tree always does well.

I've come to the conclusion that larger birds such as this Sandhill Crane, Ravens, and raptors must be important birds because they often have smaller birds "escorting" them.

Did you change your name on eBird? It now says BAL Land?

Yes. I won’t share why, as I don’t like to share personal things on here.

Not the sharpest image (hard to shoot handheld at almost 900mm), but I rarely get such a smooth background on photos.
