Sometimes, this is the best look we get at a bird. The challenge is to identify all the birds we can, often from incomplete information. The white eye ring, small size, and long tail make this look like a blue-gray gnatcatcher.
Sure enough, when we get a better look, that’s what it is.
The little green dot in the reeds across the pond. It’s pretty far away, even with high magnification.
That’s a green kingfisher.
This cool guy in the tree.
It’s a monk parakeet, who ends up giving us a great view.
