A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I'm young birder who loves photography, and animals in general.
Southern California
Sign In to followDefinitely a Bradnt's. Double-crested are orange on the bill, not the throat (also, the color on this bird is not orange).
You're correct, Gila Woodpecker.
I assume you already know what it is, since you called them Canadian Geese. It's just Canada Goose/Geese, btw.
Thanks for the ID, Hema!!
Looks like it might be an exotic. The hole it protects is likely its nest.
Was about to suggest Eyed Click Beetle, but e.drinnon got it first. Cool bug!
I know this is an old spotting, but that isn't a Blue-throated. It doesn't have enough white behind the eye, and its got too much rufous on the sides. Perhaps it's a Broad-tailed?
Not a Baltimore Oriole. Doing some research, I'll come up with the ID shortly.
