Mom with two kids after sunset.
The owlet is curious about me and my camera, I guess 😁
This little burrowing owl stood still for an hour early in the morning. Suddenly, when sunlight hit her, she began preening her feathers.
I found this one in an area with lots of competition from raptors. Hopefully it can hold its ground.
They are our Christmas birds. Every year, when December comes, they migrate to Southern California. They love all kinds of berries, especially when they gather in flocks to eat Toyon berries. Their festive colors add even more to the Christmas spirit.
They recently migrated to Southern California for the winter.
After a failed hunting attempt, the osprey took a bath instead.
