This dapper bird’s ancestors were bought and sold in the pet trade under the birdcage name “Nutmeg Mannikin”, but escaped their captors and now fly free and proud as the Scaly-Breasted Munia.

Spotted Towhee making a rare appearance in the open; these birds typically stay in dense foliage on the ground, and are heard scratching for grubs.

Two Brown Pelicans

“A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'm damned if I see how the helican!”
(Dixon Lanier Merritt)

This Neil Armstrong of birds (or perhaps, Avian Amelia Earhart?) crossed the Rocky Mountains solo, the first Field Sparrow to be spotted in California many years, a humble-looking but intrepid half-ounce explorer far from its usual habitat. A single 2-minute sighting in Griffith Park drew birders from near and far trying to see it again, so far to no avail.

Two California Quail watch for trouble, like a Dr. Seuss illustration brought to life.
Cali Quail broods often mix after hatching, and all the parents care for the young.

Two Wrentits, each hiding in its own shrub, clicked and ticked at each other until this one broke cover to look for the other.

Allen’s Hummingbird wings beat 50 times per second. (Engineers might say, that’s a 50 Hz bird.)

Acorn Woodpecker guarding a stash of acorns. They are the “truth in advertising” bird.

Male acorn woodpecker (left) head coloring is white-against-red; female coloring is white-black-red, as if she’s wearing a black headband between her white forehead and red crown.
