^^^ awesome shot mike bolte.
we've got a bald eagle in the neighborhood digging the buffet which is the verde river in spring.
each morning someone nearby releases a flock of nascar pigeons (left turns only) which can only be further enticement i suppose.
i was bino-panning the treetops unaware that we were hosting said eagle when "boom" he filled my field of view at the tip of a tall deodora cedar.
the big flinch and inhaled f-bomb caught the attention of my sweetie. meanwhile, out on the quail trail ...

SO I live about 3 miles from Stoney Point in the SFV. We have a new pair of doves around the house. Bigger than I am used to and they do a kind of gurgled 'Grew' sound when they are flying, kind of like a quiet crow caw. They might be white winged doves but haven't had a good enough view yet and we don't really have white winged doves here. They are not as large as the wood pigeons I see occassionally. Any ideas?

Big LA County birdathon on. How many counties can you see a Sooty Shearwater and a Chukar in the same day?

Thanks for the photos!
Little Z we had another W-Washington Fill Sage Thrasher. Unfortunately it wasn't singing, and I think it was distressed.

A couple from Mt. Lemmon a few weeks ago. Great to see that the Tucson area got so much moisture this winter :-)

Good Question...

Just got back from Assam a north east state in India that butts up against Bhutan.
Actually got to cross over the boarder for a few km's which is where the Great Hornbills were (we came upon a flock of about 30!).
We visited Manas NP which is a beautiful but not very well know National Park.
Besides 40+ new birds (yeah right?!!) we were fortunate enough to see wild rhinos, wild elephants, Gaur, Giant Malabar Squirrels, a new primate which I had never seen, and a Tiger (I must have some good luck because it was my 11th Bengal Tiger sighting-from 5 different parks!) and on our way out we saw a leopard (Mrs. DD's first and my 3rd!)
Photos to follow when I have time.
I'm just now beginning to go through the photos.
For now here are a few...

I was up at Hot Creek by Mammoth a couple weeks ago and saw an Osprey both days and a Bald Eagle on SUnday. Also saw Vultures.
