We have a collection of videos from our water fountain for you to watch tonight instead of that other thing. #birds #backyardwildlife #wildlife #birdbath

Over the weekend, we found 20-30 White-faced ibises (Plegadis chihi) at Prado Regional Park in Chino, CA. #birds #birding #wildlife

We put together a 10-minute video featuring Finches, Sparrows, and a Warbler to distract you from the other posts in your feed. #birds #birding #backyardwildlife #birdbath

An Unexpected Visit by a Cooper's Hawk at the Backyard Water Fountain. #birds #birding #raptors #wildlife #backyardwildlife Check out the extended version on YouTube.

A Cooper's Hawk (Astur cooperii) interrupted today's afternoon songbird bath session. We will post a short video clip here and a 4K extended version on YouTube early tomorrow. #birds #hawks #wildlife #backyardwildlife

A Red-naped Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus nuchalis) stopped by this morning to help create some fresh content for #WoodpeckerWednesday. #birds #backyardwildlife #wildlife

It wasn't that cold this morning in Southern California, but this Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) was still at full fluff. #birds #wildlife #birding #hummingbirds

This Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus) was up early this morning, singing for all to hear. #wildlife #towheetuesday #birds #birding

We have a new video up on the YouTube channel featuring an overzealous Purple Finch (Haemorhous purpureus), a few White-crowned Sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys), and a House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) to finish things off. #birds #birdbath #backyardwildlife

We added a new nest camera over the weekend. This one is placed next to the Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans) nest on the side of our house. #birds #backyardwildlife #birdcam

Good night, @bsky.app. It's time for the night shift to take over. The female Western Screech-Owls (Megascops kennicottii) stayed in our nest box today. This is a good sign that eggs will soon follow. #birds #owls #backyardwildlife #wildlife

We bring you synchronized drinking from the backyard water fountain with a couple of White-crowned Sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys) from earlier today. #birds #backyardwildlife #wildlife #sparrows

TFW, you're goofing off, and the boss catches you. A relaxed male Cooper's Hawk (Astur cooperii) reacts to the presence of his mate and starts looking for nest-building materials. #birds #hawks #wildlife #backyardwildlife

Getting the perfect angle to capture the full color of Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) is always a challenge. #birds #birding #hummingbirds #wildlife

What is your favorite species of sparrow? The White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) is at or near the top of our list. #birds #birding #backyardwildlife #wildlife

The pair of Western Screech-Owls (Megascops kennicottii) stopped by last night to inspect the nest box. If all goes well, we will have some eggs in a few weeks. #birds #wildlife #backyardwildlife #owls

We have a small Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) tree growing in the backyard. Unfortunately, this Oak Titmouse ( Baeolophus inornatus) may need to wait a few years for the acorns to grow. #birds #wildlife #backyardwildlife #nativeplants #oaktree

We spotted a herd of Tule Elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes) along Hwy 395 in the Owens Valley. #wildlife #mammals #owensvalley

We bring you a game of hide and seek with a Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) for #WoodpeckerWednesday. #birds #wildlife #woodpeckers

Happy #SuperbOwlSunday! This was one of the Western Screech-Owls (Megascops kennicottii) surveying the yard midday early last April. #SuperbOwl #birds #nextbox #birdvideo #backyardwildlife

One of our Western Screech-Owls (Megascops kennicottii) popped in briefly to inspect the owl box early this morning. #SuperbOwl #birds #nextbox #birdvideo #backyardwildlife

Happy #FlyDay! This Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) flew over the house last week. #birds #wildlife #backyardwildlife #hawks

It's easy to overlook common species like the House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) that are found year round in Southern California and most of the US. #birds #birding #wildlife #finches

A couple of Mourning Doves (Zenaida macroura) stopped by the fountain for a drink. #birds #doves #mourningdoves #backyardwildlife #wildlife

Gloomy morning vibes from a Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura). #birds #wildlife #birding #photography

Here's a short clip featuring an early morning bath session for one of our Purple Finches (Haemorhous purpureus). #birds #backyardwildlife #finches

A pair of Western Bluebirds (Sialia mexicana) stopped by the water fountain to bathe. #birds #wildlife #backyardwildlife #bluebirds

An Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata) wanted a nice peaceful moment to bathe before heading off to roost for the night. That plan was dashed by two male Purple Finches (Haemorhous purpureus). #birds #birding #backyardwildlife

Coming in hot! An Allen's Hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) with landing gear fully deployed and preparing to land on the water fountain. #birds #wildlife #backyardwildlife #hummingbirds
