Phainopepla: Peck Road Water Conservation Park

Phainopepla

Hummingbird

We went to the Peck Road Water Conservation Park in Arcadia this morning.
The fall migration in California is a bit different than New Jersey. First, it's sunny and warm. Second, we have birds like the Phainopepla. The approaching storm seems fairly bad for New Jersey (which CNN refers to as the area between New York City and Philadelphia).

Birding at Glen Helen Regional Park

The fall migration is picking up so we are heading out to find some migrants. This wekeend, we made it to Glen Helen Regional Park. Here are some highlights:



Red-shouldered Hawk



Black-throated Grey Warbler


Black-crowned Night-Heron

Bird on a Flower

House Finch

Another weekend, another bird by an orange flower. Oh, and a mountain chickadee too.
