Callie...they nest at the park near our house, I think this one maybe coming into full adulthood but that said he looks pretty normal to me.
The birds seem to hopping here in Taos, maybe early migration or done with nesting, what do the experts think?
Red-winged Blackbird.

I've got Mourning Doves nesting in my Avocado tree right now. Pics taken 10 minutes ago.
She let me get within 5 feet without a flinch.

A question for you avians---I'm at 9,000' in southern CO..pinon forest, kinda dense. Lots of birds ..chickas, nutties, jays..etc
Recently we have had a hawk/falcon swooping in very low through the tree,,grabbed a nutties the other day. It's small,,maybe 24" span at best and very agile a bit of grey-ish on the back
I can't get good pic yet...hunts mostly at dusk ?

Birded at Bolsa Chica today with my sister Kathy for the first time in a long time.
I never see BCNH on the ground, this was cool.
Saw a mixed flock with over 70 BBPL, the most I've ever seen in one place.
LBCU
There was a Least Tern that was nesting in a slightly crooked fashion. My sis and I couldn't figure what was going on. An hour later I went back and it was dead with it's legs in the air. I texted Kathy that the bird had died. Later when reviewing the photos I understood what was going on.
We also saw one Ridgeway's Rail and one Reddish Egret. My goal is to video a Reddish Egret doing "the dance." I could see this one dancing but much too far away.

Z, the decoys are in the closed off nesting area at Bolsa Chica, reserved for the terns and Snowy Plovers (?). I guess they are supposed to attract more of those species.
The funny part was that I didn't recognize them as decoys (even with binos), my eyes keep getting worse and worse!
10B, love the RUTU
