Robin

Lake Arrowhead, CA -- A Robin red breast sings atop a roof hip on this cold morning. I took nearly 30 frames of the bird, trying to capture frost billowing from its beak with each chirp. It didn't work.

Brown Stones for Birds

The housing inventory seems to be a bit abundant for our feathered friends. Fancy row housing comes cheep in the foothills of Los Angeles. One simply has to put up with advertising--that's all....

Beep beep!

Palm Springs, CA -- I see roadrunners mostly in parking lots and on the edge of golf courses. This time I found this mid-sized desert dweller on a wall at the Acme Corporation building. I looked around for Mr. Wile E. Coyote but I think he finally gave up and retired in Arizona.

Dive

Long Beach, CA -- A pelican spots a fish near the surface of the water and dives for it's lunch.

Noon Stroll

Redondo Beach, CA -- A local resident and his lucky dog paddle past a gregarious sea gull. The gull seems to have lost his left foot yet it's didn't keep the bird from begging.
