TAMDWDBE Is Upon Me

After work tomorrow I will embark on yet another epic journey to the deserts of California.  The Amazing Memorial Day Weekend Desert Birding Extravaganza is upon me.  Many miles will be driven and many birds will be seen.  I will check back in tomorrow somewhere from the wastelands of our Golden State.  Here's some regular stuff from around here:

Acorn Woodpecker at Rose Hills, loving the fan palms.

Red-whiskered Bulbul, loving the nursery.

Just Fulfilling My Obligation

Well, yesterday got away from me pretty good.  I golfed about a million holes.  It was intense.  My camera's battery is dead.  I think I left the charger at a hotel somewhere.  Life is Pain.  I might be unable to document Couch Burning activities.   Maybe this os for the best.  Today will be a double dipper again.  I don't know when I'll be able to break away from the festivities for TPAD, but I'll make it happen.

Acorn Woodpecker.  Could be anywhere, anytime.
