Black Vulture, Costa Rica. They have a bald head so bits of carrion do not adhere to the skin as they would to feathers

California Towhee, a large sparrow, not underfoot. They are often underfoot.
Messy seed-eater with beautiful brown and orange tones.
California Towhee. When you can't find any other bird, you can always find a towhee somewhere nearby. #californiatowhee #bird #birdphotography #torreypinesnaturereserve #birdsofcalifornia
One of five in a small flocking that was putting the perpetual into the perpetual motion machine.
Allaboutbirds says, "Tiny bird that looks like a ping-pong ball with a long tail". Exactly! This is a female Pacific morph, looking pretty ratty.
Unhappy with the response to these Bushtit photos, I re-edited them to help them look more like birds. Original caption: Bushtit. I'm lucky to get such decent shots of this quick moving bird before 7AM through the morning fog and the dim light. #bushtit #bird #birdphotography #birdsofcalifornia
Mourning Dove on ground
Did you know Mourning Doves are pretty cool when you actually look at them? Bro is out here with a holographic neck and we are just acting like that's normal??

One Whimbrel walks across the sand to the right. Its bill is slighly open and you immediately notice the bold eyeline.
Now two Wimbrel walk across the sand to the right.
In a mixed flock, there are many Whimbrels to the left and one Long-billed Curlew to the right.
Whimbrel on Torrey Pines State Beach. Often flocking with Long-billed Curlew, one of which shows up on the right in photo 3. Look how dainty is the tiny bill of the whimbrel!
