South Western Birding Odyssey Pictures Part 2

[tmanson]

Hi all: Spent the day fixing two toilets, so am ready for another challenge- posting pictures to Fraser Valley Birding- part two.



1) Black Bellied Whistling Duck- Brownsville, Texas.

.

2) Anhinga- Estero Llande World Birding Centre- Weslaco, Texas



3) Common Parauque- Same location- pretty well camouflaged, but the docents know where they are; hopefully, the bobcats don't.



4) Underexposed Black billed Magpie Jay- same location. The prevailing wisdom- it is an escapee.



5) Black Rosy Finch- Sandia Crest, New Mexico- great location in winter- all 3 Rosy Finches in one location.



6) Brown capped Rosy Finch- same location.



7) Yellow-footed Gull- Obsidian Butte, Salton Sea, California.



8) Spotted Dove- South Central L.A., California.




9) Island Scrub Jay- Santa Cruz Island, California- certainly the most colourful scrub jay.
