Dipped on a Harris' Sparrow today, which is in a really shitty patch of brush between a dump and a junkyard.

Although when you surprise one and it violently thrashes away through the underbrush, its a bit startling.<br /><br />That was the one good shot I got of that warbler, out of attempting quite a few...way better than nothing though, thats for sure.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-47629124520830574522012-11-01T20:32:19.193-07:002012-11-01T20:32:19.193-07:00Thanks Mia!Thanks Mia!Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-32995720199111958902012-11-01T19:47:21.423-07:002012-11-01T19:47:21.423-07:00Wow, that is one mean lookin Iguana!

Males that big will chase people out of their territories when they are feeling like they have a girl to protect.

Anyway this is a sick post, and not only because most of the birds on here would be new for me. You totally flashed the shit outta that Grosbeak, well done sir!<br /><br />What's the blue rock behind the Waterthrush? For a second it looked like it was guarding a Robin's egg, and I didn't know they hired out their services for such things.<br /><br />Awesome stuff. So, is the San Francisco scene dull now?<br /><br />Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-65013189910637416332012-10-31T14:02:29.438-07:002012-10-31T14:02:29.438-07:00Thanks for the dragon ID.

They are probably common, but that was the definitely the coolest one I saw down there.<br /><br />I am also in need of The Cuckoo...I did see a cuckoo sp. in flight at the one MACU spot in Key West, but have no idea what it was. I also still need BWVI, ANNI, and a few other eastern birds that show up there.

After several trips to Florida that and the damnable Mangrove Cuckoo are the last specialties I "need" so totally jealous. <br /><br />Your dragonfly looks like a Roseate Skimmer.
