This is a damselfly species I'd very much like to photograph someday.
A lovely bird indeed! The subspecies here in northwest Oregon don't have the white eyebrow marks (although a few have very thin white forehead streaks).
That's quite a rarity for California. When these are seen north of Mexico it is usually in south Texas. Well done indeed!
Indeed I have; Birkhead's writing about birds is delightful. In fact, not long ago I read - and reviewed for Bird Watcher's Digest - his most recent book "Bird Sense."
Thanks! I still can hardly believe I recorded both with an iPhone through a spotting scope.
You are most welcome.
That's the view I needed - thanks!
I can't see the field marks in the photos that I need to see for a positive identification clearly enough. It's either Hoffmann's Woodpecker or Golden-fronted Woodpecker. Does it have a white rump patch?
It's of the Genus Phrynosoma, but I'm not sure of the species.
