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.
Is this a red shouldered hawk or coopers hawk?
Location: ascot hills park in Los Angeles
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!
First time seeing a Black Phoebe at my hummingbird fountain. What a cutie.
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?
