Visiting family in California earlier this month, I took some back roads and stopped by the Llano Seco wildlife viewing area, just south of Chico. A little tough handholding a 4+ kg lens and body, but got some fun shots, I think. I lived for years in this area, but my first time shooting birds there.

No. 1 looks like he's preaching to the flock. Good capture.

I read the title and saw the first image and thought the bird was saying NO CA birds allowed.
So NO. is Northern. Shows where my brain is at. Thanks for sharing.

I like #2. A pleasing image.
