Cheating at Birding

Today we went out to view a bird banding presentation put on by SFBBO in Milpitas. It was quite a presentation! Birds around us in the bush included Lazuli Buntings, Great-horned owls and red-shouldered and cooper’s hawks! And those weren’t even birds in the hand!

Our first bird! Male downy woodpecker, so freaking cute 🙂

Angry male nuttall’s woodpecker, also adorable 🙂

Swainson’s thrush, so cool!

Baby song sparrow! Not the most uncommon of birds, but its so cute how could I not post his picture?

Baby chesnut-backed chickadee! So sweet!

Bewick’s wren, truly one of my favorite birds in California

Female downy woodpecker
