r/socalbirding

Seen this in Encino over the weekend.

There were several more in a tree to the right.

I counted 9 and two flying so 11 total. Definitely a first for me.

I didn’t know there were wild parrots in Ivine

I saw like 12 of these feeding off a tree while walking in the Peters canyon trail in Irvine. I think they are Red Crown Parrots

Kingbird ID

Seen in San Diego, CA on 8/16. Is this a western or cassins? Apologies for the poor photo quality.

Good birding in Idyllwild?

Recommended birding around Idyllwild, preferably easy to easy-moderate walk/hiking only?

Any birds in particular I should be on the lookout for that I don't get in LA? (Already adore quails.)

Stellar's Jay photo from last time I was up there!

25+ dead large birds at Campus Point Beach

Visited UCSB Campus Point Beach on Friday August 7 and found at least 25 dead large birds all throughout the cliff/rock areas (not all are pictured). This was right next to a kids surf camp… Thoughts on what could have caused this?
