Western Bluebird perches on a western icon: the barbed-wire fence.

Fabulous California Quail was born ready for the runway, the red carpet or a Dr. Seuss book.

an incredibly fabulous bird who looks like a drawing by Dr Seuss but is all too real.

Do not cross this fierce and beautiful creature or he will mock you - without mercy. That is the warrior code of the Northern Mockingbird.

staring straight into camera is a sizable gray bird with large intelligent eyes who seems strangely furious.

Acorn Woodpecker tries to fit just one more into a sign post. In Acorn Woody territory, any hollow object might become a granary. Walls, attics, barbecues and cars are sometimes found filled with acorns.

Killdeer nest on the ground, and when predators approach, the adult pretends to have a broken wing, moves away from the nest and makes pathetic cries, hoping to lure the would-be attacker into chasing them instead of the young.

Close-up of a worried-looking plover with broad brown and white bands, a short, thick, dark bill, and a red eye ring around a disproportionately large eye.

Gravity means nothing to the White-breasted Nuthatch, who is perfectly content foraging upside-down.

Baeolophus inornatus sounds more dignified than Oak Titmouse as a name for this tiny gray bird with a loud voice (who looks like Groot’s avian cousin.)

Clinging to a leafy branch is a small, brown-tinged gray bird with small tuft or crest. The face is plain, and the undersides are a lighter gray.

Anna’s Hummingbird hovers in midair to sip from a Fuchsiaflower Gooseberry on this rainy day. #naturephotography #nature #birds #birders #birdwatchers #birding #birdwatching #GriffithPark #DailyBird #BirdsOfPixelfed #FernDell #BirdsOfMastodon #LARiver #naturephotos #LAWildlife #losangeles #hummingbird

Tiny mostly greenish bird hovers as if by magic, wings beating so fast that the camera only sees them as a blur. Shiny feathers the color of gemstones decorate the neck, and its long, fine beak points upwards, reaching into a row of dangling lipstick-red flowers that look like a string of miniature Chinese lanterns.

Only a few Red-whiskered Bulbuls live in Los Angeles - descendants of pet shop escapees! - and have a delightful call, “pleased-to-meet-you!” #naturephotography #nature #birds #birders #birdwatchers #birding #birdwatching #GriffithPark #DailyBird #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdsOfMastodon #LARiver #naturephotos #LAWildlife #losangeles #bulbul

Sitting on a power line, a medium sized bird with a fluffy white body, a black head with a vibrant cherry-colored patch under its eye and another where the long-ish tail meets the body. Its most impressive feature is a black crest, which resembles a rockabilly hairdo.

Bees are not the only pollinators - check out that beak. This Raven pollinates! #naturephotography #nature #birds #birders #birdwatchers #birding #birdwatching #GriffithPark #DailyBird #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdsOfMastodon #LARiver #naturephotos #LAWildlife #losangeles #raven #pollinator

A glossy-black bird with yellow pollen stuck to its large beak.

I was photographing a bird yesterday, high up in Griffith Park, and looked over to discover this bobcat checking me out. We silently considered each other for a breath or two, then he stealthily disappeared into the brush. #naturephotography #nature #birds #birders #birdwatchers #birding #birdwatching #GriffithPark #DailyBird #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdsOfMastodon #LARiver #naturephotos #LAWildlife #losangeles #bobcat #caturday #cat

Acorn Woodpeckers are endlessly talking to each other, and seem to laugh a lot. Walter Lantz used them as the pattern for Woody Woodpecker’s voice (and the Pileated for his look.) #naturephotography #nature #birds #birders #birdwatchers #birding #birdwatching #GriffithPark #DailyBird #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdsOfMastodon #LARiver #naturephotos #LAWildlife #losangeles #woodpecker

Prehistoric-looking Great Blue Heron navigates a sci-fi landscape. #naturephotography #nature #birds #birders #birdwatchers #birding #birdwatching #GriffithPark #DailyBird #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdsOfMastodon #LARiver #naturephotos #LAWildlife #losangeles #heron

A massive waterbird with outstretched wings in varying colors like so many shades of marble, a brilliant yellow eye and long peach-colored beak glides past girders and wires indicative of modern infrastructure.

This overtly territorial Rufous-crowned Sparrow usually grazes next to a 25-foot (8 meter) stretch of Mount Hollywood Drive, and doesn’t back away from a mere photographer. #naturephotography #nature #birds #birders #birdwatchers #birding #birdwatching #GriffithPark #DailyBird #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdsOfMastodon #LARiver #naturephotos #LAWildlife #losangeles #sparrow
