Birding in Riverside

Here are a few more of the birds we saw at Riverside, mostly at the AgOps area of my new institution, UC Riverside. The western kingbird was at a nearby park. The Western Wood-Pewee was a new bird to us.

Northern Flickers

We were out in Riverside, California again and went birding with some people at UC Riverside. One of the highlights for us was the red-shafted northern flicker. We get the yellow shafted in NJ.
