orange crowned warbler, Irvine CA

They were stretching when they named this one. The orange is kind of there, not like the kinglets that have the obvious stripes of color.

We need more yellow birds - just the thing to cheer up an otherwise awful Monday!

Alfred is not actually going to take flight here; he is using his wings to help him balance as he delicately steps down into the culvert which runs beneath a road near where I live.

I don't have a photo of it, but I was photographing superb fairy wrens (very skittish birds), which is really difficult because they bounce around. A bystander pointed out that one of them had landed on my hat! It was a Panama hat, made of straw, and apparently it was sitting there for a minute or more. As you can imagine, I couldn't exactly get a shot of the bird on my hat. Would have been a great shot. Pity!
