Went out for a drive around the lake today and saw little of what I expected
to see and lots of what I wouldn't expect to see..
Unexpected highlights included an adult Crested Caracara and a snazzy
Bullock's Oriole male.

 

Trip was shy on sparrows, shorebirds, gulls, and warblers for some reason,
as in NONE..With the exception of hords of Lark Sparrows.  And surprisingly,
I didn't see a single White Wing Dove, which usually I have to swat away
when I walk out the back door.

Great Tailed Grackle

European Starling

Rock Dove

Collared Dove

Northern Mockingbird
