Oceanside Big Year (5th Day)

#20- Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos)
Mockingbirds are so pretty!  I love the white wingbars.
(Thank you to Jenny the Birder for helping me with the identification!)

Rules aren't for the birds.




#21- Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)
When these birds are on the ground they are not even as fabulous, their red wings look more like an orange streak.
Thanks for scaring them Eric!
Or is that not allowed?
Well, I didn't do it.  
I just thanked the culprit... 

Look!  The osprey is on its perch again!
Elle and Ruby had never seen one before.
Oh, and now they want to do a Big Year!  It is contagious!
