Another view of the Yellow-billed Magpie. The birds were perched high up in very large oak trees, so were hard to photograph. Once in awhile one would perch out on a limb, like this one, and I could get a shot. Even so, this was cropped greatly.
This cute little raccoon was working the bottom of the shallow water at Oso Flaco Lake out of Santa Maria, CA. He was with several other raccoons that day, and was fun to watch.
The three raccoons were in the shallow water at Oso Flaco Lake, out of Santa Maria, CA. At one point they started walking really fast, and the last one kept trying to catch up. It was very cute.
