I had a pretty good morning. Hiked the Lake June Scrub State Park and good shots of the scrub jay and towhee. Came home to find the flycatcher posing in a ficus tree in our front yard; got his pic through the car window.
Took a bike ride and found a great egret, a snowy egret and tricolor heron in the same small stream. The snowy and the tricolor worked the great egret. They were positioned about 50 apart. The great egret spent his time trying to shoo off each of them. As one avoided the great egret, the other feasted on minnows. LOL! The great egret spent all his time and energy attempting to defend his stream from two conspiring free loaders.

I don’t have any recent pictures. If you have some by all means start a post. I’ve been too busy with work to get out much. Thanks
