This juvenile bird is shaking off excess water as seen in the photo. Also this and other juveniles were in hiding while the adults were mobbing a large Tawny eagle a few moments before I photographed this shot. Initially we thought it was hiding from us. Adults were loud enough to assure us of them being in hot pursuit of the large eagle in the sky, while simultaneously warning the chicks. After the danger passed this chick came quite close and gave us good oppurtunity to photograph while we were sleeping and waiting for these.

When you camp at Steamboat the first thing you need to find out is what time do the sprinklers come on because come on they will and they keep the grounds lush and green. Twenty paces out of my sight however is the desert. I sat from dawn until I was called to breakfast and watched deer, turkey, turkey buzzards, quail, Flickers, magpie, and a multitude of other birds living their lives among the thorns and brambles and it was amazing. this guy was nice enough to strike a pose in good light for me. :-)

This reaction was seen when the Black Drongo was mobbing it. The hoopoe opens up its crest when it gets excited or when it feels threatened. Here it was reacting to a drongo that came close to it. The white on crests (below the black tips) confirms it as a migratory sub-species to India.

During our wanderings we saw a lot of these amazing stacks, I wasn't driving or we still wouldn't be back home. This one can be found off the coast near the lighthouse in Tillamook Oregon. I would have upped the ISO to freeze the birds, but frankly, I didn't see them, I was just fascinated by the shape and face of this fellow. :-)
