Residents have been flocking to this tropical island paradise for its beautiful views and innovative wave system for years. A great place to relax and listen to the tide crash on the shore.

I "think" these are domestic geese someone has left in the park. They are very tame.
I may be slower with visits. We are working full days on the yard and we aren't worth much when we get done, but I'm working on it.
I miss you ♥ www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oX_gwwACls

This red-tailed hawk has been hanging around Commonwealth Lake lately - I visited there 3 times in the last week, and it made an appearance all three times. Here it is posing for its admiring audience - a good collection of photographers and cellphone wielders (sorry, but I still can't quite call someone with a cell phone a photographer; sorry if I'm offending some!). It eventually flew right at us, but it was too dark to catch the action. Oh, well, I got some decent shots from another of its visits.
Down at the local harbor is the resident Otter family. There are a few more otters in the bottom of the skiff.
Olga has shrunk in size and now has only about 20 residents. The church (Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, established in 1882), however, seems to continue to thrive.
The San Diego Public Library is a popular destination that connects this diverse community to free educational and cultural resources that enrich the lives of visitors and residents alike. With 5.6 million visitors per year.
Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus): A relatively shy bird. Although a resident of the southern US, these can be difficult to see, but not difficult to hear. This one is sitting on a fence, pausing between its melodious song. Sugar Land, TX, USA.
Thank you in advance for your views and comments.
Lewis's Woodpeckers congregate in Buena Vista for the breeding season. Looks like a woodpecker but forages like a flycatcher,
Resident waders found throughout the year around large lakes, shallow rivers and wetland areas. Summer is the nesting time for these waders / reed birds and they contine to nest till the end of summers to rainy season and through it. This year, our summer is varying between moderate and cool temperatures. The swamphens haven't started nesting yet, but I suspect some of them have started demonstrating the breeding plumage - the colors are more vivid than usual and quite beautiful - like in this picture.
These swamphens are sighted in large numbers now around reed beds and waterlogged fields which would be thriving with small worms, insects and other creatures. We are still seeing a lot of rains and the lakes are overflowing - so the fields are where most of the activity is.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. This species has rarely been observed in Europe. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturæ in 1758 as Turdus polyglottos. The northern mockingbird is renowned for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its wings have white patches which are visible in flight.
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land. The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. It is replaced further south by its closest living relative, the tropical mockingbird. The Socorro mockingbird, an endangered species, is also closely related, contrary to previous opinion. The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence and has also been noted in North American culture. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. Finally, the mockingbird has influenced United States culture in multiple ways. The bird is a State bird of 5 states, has been used in book titles, and has also been used in popular songs and lullabies among other appearances in U.S. culture.

A colorful resident bird common throughout the country and is the state bird for many South Indian States. These are found all the way to the Middle East and are easily identified by their unique colors. The are about 30-35 cms tall and often sighted perched on power lines, fence posts and sometimes on grass bales in the countryside.
The birds hunt insects like beetles, grasshoppers and dragonflies. Sometimes they are seen on the ground in the grass picking up insects. They are not social birds and sightings are of solitary birds or at best two of them. During a trip to a grassland, sighted one of them foraging in the grassland. It flew to various trees sometimes coming to the ground and catching insects.
Thank you very much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
A resident swallow in the country often sighted in the countryside continuously gliding close to water bodies and around puddles on dirt roads. They are also the most common swallows to see at eye level, the others like the the Barn swallows and the Streak Throated Swallows are bit tough to get that level.
The birds often nest under road drains, bridges or culverts. They swoop wet mud from wet areas and then build their nest in a laborious process.
During my Himalayan trip , I found a small flock of these birds picking up mud next to a small hand pump in a muddy patch. They were making multiple trips in building their nests. I wondered where they are setting up their nests for a while and finally found the answer. The birds were laying nests in the roof corners of shops in the area. And the shopkeepers did not mind the nests and Swallows inside their nests much to my delight. The ceiling is only like 8 feet in most places (to keep the heat at ground level) and they don't use fans due to the cold.
Many thanks in advance for your views, likes and faves. Much appreciated.
