Saw a bunch of white pelicans today. Some of the largest birds I’ve ever seen.

January boredom is getting to me. But at least my pics are getting better.

Like I said... January boredom.

Oops. Wrong thread.
"That young man has an extra step on his ladder the rest of us just don't have."
According to my googling, I believe I saw a female Dark-eyed or Black-eyed junco on the deck under my Mom's feeder this morning. Had not seen one of those. Sorry, no pic.
Dark-eyed Junco would be your normal bird. Male is gray-black on top and whitish underneath. The female is the same except for a brownish wash. They like to flock, so you may see several.
Dark-eyed Junco is a confusing array of subspecies, each seemingly on its way to becoming a separate species (a la Darwin Finches). In the Eastern U.S. it's much less confusing as almost all birds are the Slate-colored variety. In the Colorado Rockies we get to see the Oregon Junco (dark black head, reddish mantle), Pink-sided, the Slate-colored, plus others.

Immature Red-shouldered Hawk, I believe. Nice it's so cooperative.
