Yellow Rumped, Orange Crowned, flicker, Brown headed cowbird Inglewwood in early May- Sunday the 6th

Got down to Inglewood a little early this morning, managed to find this Flicker excavting a new place for the family, or so it looked like.

We spent a little time at trying to grab a Swallow in the air.  I love how the wings are vertical and the head is horizontal here.

The Yellow rumped Warblers were every where!

Here is a bird I rarely shoot, but it came in so close I had to fire off a couple of rounds. The Brown Headed Cow bird.

Here is a shot of a Canada Goose nesting in the side of a tree. Pretty cool, she is only about 8 feet off the ground.

Managed to grab some pretty good Black Billed Magpie shots as well. The tail feathers on these birds cab just look outstanding in the sun.

We had a little drama overhead as this Redtail Hawk objected to the presence of this Bald Eagle. They were a long way off, so the quality of the image is not great.

Did I mention the Yellow Rumps were everywhere?

And we finished the day up with some Orange Crowned Warblers, a new bird for me.

That wraps up this Sunday morning walk portion of our show. We had many other birds and few mammals thrown in, but the post would be toooo long toinclude everything.
