With the deluge of rain that has hit California I decided to dip back into a short 'tropical rain' that was enjoyed in Costa Rica last April by this Brown-hooded Parrot.

Home is becoming a great place for springtime photography for me. This little Chickadee was 'eyeballing' the fountain below for a bath!

One of the many beautiful birds to be found in Costa Rica. This beautiful female Green Honeycreeper 'stole my attention' for the moment...until the next beautiful bird flew in...

On the bird walk trail the feed tray and feeders were loaded with plenty of bird seed that created a feeding frenzy among many birds. This provided so many opportunities for observing many beautiful birds as well as many birding photo opps!

When this 'delightfully beautiful' male Pyrrhuloxia showed up I couldn't take my eyes off of it and it soon became one of my favs...as well as several other species that visited this spot...:)

Thank you for your visit and comments...our rain is back!

I must have taken hundreds of shots of Burrowing Owls on this day, always trying to get that 'perfect' flight shot...those I missed entirely even tho I had many chances! This may not be the perfect one, but it's one that I'm proud of because...i got one!
