Here some exciting shots from my friends, Shannon Rio and Kirk Gooding…many in Jackson, Klamath and Siskiyou Counties (technically a part of California still).Crane couple above, Cinnamon couple below:
Golden Eagle in flight:
Great Horned Owlets on osprey platform put to another use. Canada Geese also will seize a platform and not relinquish it to the osprey…have you ever argued with a parent Canada Goose?
Marmot above, his deadly nemesis below:
Savannah Sparrow celebrates a spring bath:
Sage Thrasher:
Tricolored Blackbird:
Ibis above, Wilson’s Phalarope in the water, Whimbrels on shore.
Willet in foreground, blackbird stage left.
Guess my name!
MacGillivray’s above, very hard bird to even spot, much less photograph…our generic male ducks below
Wilson’s Warbler, nominally related to the phalarope above.
