This morning Cooper here flew from my patio to the tree and just watched us. The spirits are talking to us and guiding us we just have to listen.

Welcome new host @helenbennett.bsky.social! Helen's first #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FabulousWaders, any wading bird that you love! My wife departed in the early hours for Torrey Pines where I spent time last year with the fabulous #LongBilledCurlew. #birdphotography #birdsofcalifornia
A Long-billed Curlew has captured a sand flea and it playing toss with it. The bird has an extra-long bill which shows pink near the head and black at the distal end. It must be a bit of a struggle to get food to move up into the mouth and down the throat.

California Towhee. When you can't find any other bird, you can always find a towhee somewhere nearby. #californiatowhee #bird #birdphotography #torreypinesnaturereserve #birdsofcalifornia
California Towhee, a large sparrow, not underfoot. They are often underfoot. Messy seed-eater with beautiful brown and orange tones.

Unhappy with the response to these Bushtit photos, I re-edited them to help them look more like birds. Original caption: Bushtit. I'm lucky to get such decent shots of this quick moving bird before 7AM through the morning fog and the dim light. #bushtit #bird #birdphotography #birdsofcalifornia
One of five in a small flocking that was putting the perpetual into the perpetual motion machine. Allaboutbirds says, "Tiny bird that looks like a ping-pong ball with a long tail". Exactly! This is a female Pacific morph, looking pretty ratty.

Whimbrel on Torrey Pines State Beach. Often flocking with Long-billed Curlew, one of which shows up on the right in photo 3. Look how dainty is the tiny bill of the whimbrel!

#whimbrel #bird #birdphotography #torreypinesstatebeach #birdsofcalifornia
One Whimbrel walks across the sand to the right. Its bill is slighly open and you immediately notice the bold eyeline. Now two Wimbrel walk across the sand to the right. In a mixed flock, there are many Whimbrels to the left and one Long-billed Curlew to the right.

I walked to the beach to find a #LongBilledCurlew Long walk but, imho, worth it. #bird #birdphotography #torreypinesbeach #birdsofcalifornia
