Baby hooded oriole learning how to be a bird :)

Little guy must have left the nest today, parents were higher up in the trees watching me ward off the neighborhood cats.

Birding idyllwild

I’m planning a birding day trip to idyllwild. I’m planning on driving in from banning to idyllwild. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to stop while driving into idyllwild. Thank you!

Red-Tailed Hawk - Rancho Bernardo, CA.

It was mostly asleep. But it looked around for a bit while I was watching. Beautiful bird.
