It's an even numbered day, so is a bird in flight.

Yes astro, you are now my bird photographer competition. That's a good thing though, it will keep me on my toes.
I like this shot a lot. I see they're coming into breeding plumage. The bokeh is rather pleasing and both birds are in sharp focus. I always end up sacrificing one bird when I do shots like this.

"breeding plumage"? How'd you know that? I was happy just to get an ID.

This osprey was being pestered by a heron so it took to this telephone pole to finish lunch. Only to be "pestered" by a photographer.

I originally marked this a snowy egret but I now think it's a little blue heron (immature). I believe the little blue heron is not common in Southern California.

Astro, that is an immature Little Blue Heron, you can see the dusky tips to it's wings. While they're not common in So Ca. there is a bredding population at Sea World. I've heard reports recently that they may now be breeding at the wild animal park.
