Some birds on the farm.

Feel free to correct my id's.

There were a number of other birds

bald eagles, lots of juncos, flocks

of robins and magpies.

Song Sparrow

Purple Finch

This guy peewee'd every morning.

Western Wood Pewee

The only warblers I found

were flocks of Yellow Rumped Warblers.

    I thought this was a Sharp-Shinned Hawk

Not a great photo of a Turkey Vulture

but I thought the light created

an interesting shot.

And I can quote one of my favorite poems

"calling them what I'd never called them, what they are,

those dwarfed transfiguring angels,

who flock to the side of the poisoned fox, the mud turtle

crushed on the shoulder of the road,

who pray over the leaf-graves of the anonymous lost,

with mercy enough to consume us all and give us wings. "
