4 PADs How Embarrassing

Once again, I'm only putting these up because I feel like I have to.  I am about to go to prom.  "Adult Prom".  Can you believe that?  I barely can.  Wish me luck.

Indy Bunting.  Still in Rowland Heights.

Me.  Embarrassing moment on the 4th.

Bunting Partay

I am taking my first ever Flight To Chase A Vagrant tonight.  I fly up to The City in a few hours to catch a ride on Outer Limits to the Farallon Islands.  If all goes as planned, I will stare at a Northern Gannet with my eyes.  Please wish me luck.  Here's what I saw at work today:

This pretty female Lazuli Bunting couldn't escape the clutches of her Indigo Admirer.  The Indigo kept chasing the male Lazuli away from her when he would get too close.  I suspect they might be making some little hybrid bunting babies.

Here's the pushy male.  He is the same one that I poorly photographed a while back.

No Need To Get All Cray

I found a rare bird today.  I was happy and excited but also sad because it was on private property, meaning I couldn't really tell people about it.  Plus it's just an Indigo Bunting.  Nothing to get all cray excited about.

I couldn't even get close enough for a great photograph. 

This guy was much more obliging.

Here we go again.  395 south.  Headed to Butterbredt.  Brutal day, but not without its rewards:

Indigo Bunting, Furnace Creek Ranch.

Ovenbird, Stovepipe, Death Valley.
