Sunday

 

Saturday’s walk was at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge.

 

From morning light on moss draped oaks

 

To hanging vines

 

To storm damage

 

To a scenic overlook

 

With a view from the hawk tower (past a lower tower)

 

Which included a lift-off of 250 Broad-winged Hawks (No photo.  They were too far away.) and an Olive-sided Flycatcher (Photo).  See him at the top of the tree in the previous photo too?

 

From there, we went by Tom’s place to see how his lot looked with his new casita (during a thundershower).

 

And photographed an RV site that has the concrete surface we’re considering for our spot.

 

That cloud of blackbirds in the background got our attention.  A closer look showed that most of the birds were Bronzed Cowbirds, with European Starlings and a few Brown-headed Cowbirds mixed in.
