From Friday's walk at #BigMorongoCanyonPreserve, this summer tanager poses on a tree branch. #BirdoftheDay theme of #RedHead any bird with red on its head or beak. Have a good day! #birds #photography #Nature

Sitting in the shade on a horizontal branch is an all red bird facing us.  We can see a tiny bit of black on his right wing, and a small dark eye.  His beak is thick and tan as he looks off to his left and gives us a 45º profile.  The background is blurry branches with fine green leaves.

"Age before beauty...."

A male and female Gambel's quail stroll by at #BigMorongoCanyonPreserve. 9/18/26

Walking from left to right, two quail pass by along the ground filled with dirt, sticks and dead leaves. They are mostly gray, with a rich brown patch on their sides.  There looks to be painted white smudges within the brown.   The female has a small gray beak and a small black top-knot.  The male has a larger black forward-curving top-knot along with a white headband on a black head, and a vertical white line running down to the neck.

I missed posting for yesterday's #BirdoftheDay which was #Paridae... and I think that rhymes? But I did see a Paridae yesterday and here is a mountain chickadee. You can tell them apart from the black-capped by the white eyebrow. #birds #Nature #photography #BigMorongoCanyonPreserve #SoCal

Couldn't get this bird to post in the sunlight, so here is a shadow shot!  The bird is perched on the end of a sawed off, bare tree branch.  S/he faces the camera but looks to the right giving a good facial profile. The bird has a white face with a black eye stripe and a black cap.  Also, s/he has a black throat leading to a white bib over a light gray chest.  The legs and beak are black as well. The background is sun-dappled blurry green trees.
