~ This beautiful blackbird was photographed at San Jacinto Wildlife Area in southern California. It was perched in the wild Mustard, which is an invasive plant that we are supposed to hate. It adds a pretty yellow to the spring landscape.
Bushtit ~ This Bushtit was photographed in the San Diego area.
Displaying Brewer's Blackbird ~ I've seen about a zillion Brewer's Blackbirds in my day, but I'd never seen one doing this display behavior. He was puffed up about 3 times his usual size, and was making distinct vocalizations. Spring is in the air! This photo was taken in the San Diego area.
