Spring in Los Angeles County





I'm absolutely amazed at how many different wild birds I see in my own backyard! Here is a male, Black-Headed Grosbeak eating at one of my feeders. Things look fairly peaceful at the moment, but this bird was clearly being 'bullied' by the Mourning Doves already at the feeder. Each time he would set [bird] foot on the floor of the feeder, a dove would gesture a 'peck' at him, and he'd move to the frame. And I thought Mourning Doves were gentle, docile creatures!
