Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alternative theme is #yelloweyes. I encountered this excellent great horned owl at Ojai Raptor Center in California, where they rehabilitate injured birds, some years ago.

Easy choice of subject for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Mr&Mrs. Every day when I get up, for several years now, Hoppy (on the left, with the odd right foot) and her mate (we just call him Not-Hoppy) are in the tree grooming each other.

I reckon this house sparrow was #singing to try and attract a mate to a potential nesting spot.

This current cold spell has been great for photographing #round borbs for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. I shot this very circular house finch yesterday morning.

This young Cooper's hawk let me get to within about 12 feet of it, which is handy because it fits the bill for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, which is #mottled.

We had the first frost of the season here in the high Mojave desert of the Antelope Valley. Brrrr!

A couple of years ago I opened our front door and was confronted by this young red-tailed hawk in our tree.

At Cottontail Acres: this female Nuttall's woodpecker (which has a faint orange coloring on her wings and back, for some reason) is here at least twice daily. You can see her little pink tongue in the second photo.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #least, the bird of which you have the - ahem - fewest photos. This is my one and only photo of a Northern yellow warbler, and I took it only two months ago.

Despite their enviable ability to fly, #birds spend a lot of time #standingonthings, which is perhaps why that's the #birdoftheday theme. A Western wood-peewee on a cactus, from 2018.
