The bottom one escaped. GREG feasting at Shoreline lake in the late evening last week.
This Acorn Woodpecker was seen last weekend @Arastradero.
Thanks for bearing with me for posting so many bear pictures! I still have tons of them. For a change of taste, here's a HV I found this morning @Pearson-Arastradero Preserve.
I saw these birds in dozens at a time near the humpbacks and trying their luck with fishing and some of them caught fish bigger than they can swallow! These are tiny birds and my glass was not long enough. But since this is a lifer, I am posting it. The locals called them 'flying potato' because how they look in flight.
I saw this unusual bird with unusual spelling (other than Pterodactyl and words associated with Ptolemy, I could not find any) in Denali NP. This adult male (and female) will turn snow white in winter. They can live in subarctic Tundra throughout the year and forage effectively even in winter.
More from Allabout birds: "The word ptarmigan is from the Scottish Gaelic “tàrmachan,” the old name for Willow Ptarmigan in the northern British Isles. The “p” was added to the name because early ornithologists thought that the word was Greek in origin. The genus and species name for Willow Ptarmigan, Lagopus, means “hare-footed” in Greek, a reference to the heavily feathered feet and toes."
A bald Eagle at a roadside stop near Tazlina, AK on Highway 4. This is one of many Bald Eagles I spotted in Alaska. They are as common as 'Highway Hawks' in California. Unfortunately, this poor guy was chased out of sight by a bunch of bullies - not a murder of crows but a squabble of gulls!

This bird was sharing the same tree as the flycatcher! Different branch. Two-fer!
I debated the ID of this bird being WWP vs OSFC but the latter won! I have it's 'full frontal' from a little further distance (it was flying back and forth between two branches) and the vest was tailor made for OSFC.
This Grosbeak was hiding in the shades. A bird loving friend found it with her binoculars and pointed me to its direction. After a few minutes, it came out of the thicket only for a few seconds. Had to do some lightrooming to get the shades out.
This Pied-Billed Grebe caught a crayfish too big for its size and struggled to swallow it for almost a minute but ultimately was successful. An early morning encounter at the Sausal Pond, Windy Hill OSP.
This small woody was a very handy woodworker!. The drumming was loud enough for me to spot him in the woods. These birds have slightly larger bills than our familiar Downy.
