Black-bellied Plover (Immature)
Colorado Lagoon. Black-bellied Plover (Immature). Help me if I'm wrong. He was mixing with all the other shorebirds, acting a bit lost. Haven't seen him since.

Black-necked Stilts
Bolsa Chica. Black-necked Stilts. Slumming it along the canal (too bad it's not cleaner), against the embankment and near the new housing development.

San Jacinto Wildlife: White-tailed Kite
San Jacinto Wildlife Area. Perhaps my current fave raptor: white-tailed kite. (These pics are way better than I've shot of his doppelganger @ Bolsa Chica, but I'm still not totally satisfied: my camera could do better if I could just get closer.:)) The journey is more important than the destination.

San Jacinto Wildlife: Red-tailed Hawk
San Jacinto Wildlife Area. Red-tailed Hawk. Spent yesterday morning there. Beautiful scenery and lots of hawks. Saw a lot but it was hard to get close with my little camera (Lumix FZ80). This is one of my few keepers.

Siege of Herons
Bolsa Chica. Small siege of herons, with something of a hierarchy.:)
