Phainopeppla (female)

See the white edging?

There has been a sighting of one near the foothills. Did you report it to ebird?

No jellis.this was in Concord california in my neighborhood near YV road.

Was this at Black Diamond Mines? I usually see them there or Del Puerto Canyon this time of year. The rest I see in the deserts of southern CA or AZ

I've only seen one male ever, they are such pretty birds! Glad you got to see them :)

Thanks so much Ashley!Never in my dream did I think I would see this bird in my neighborhood.

It's a female phainopepla
