Amazing video, Neon. I don't think this kind of nesting behavior by the Whiskered Tree Swift has been documented before. It's incredible how a small nest can hold a egg on an open branch and even have the parents sit on it, without the nest falling off. Bravo!

Nice captures, Ed. The second one is indeed a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

Nice documentary series, Edu! That looks like a small frog that it was eating.
The shrike is also known as butcher bird because of it's habit of impaling its prey on barbed wires or thorns.

Tins, those shots are all 5 stars. I particularly like the Barbet and the Rose-ringed Parakeet.

Jun, the species is known as Dark-eyed Junco. The species is further divided into about six subspecies (some are still being evaluated): Oregon, Pink-sided, Slate-colored, Gray-headed, White-winged and Red-backed. What you have is the most common, which is the Oregon variety. I believe Ed's is that of a Pink-sided (lighter head, less rufous sides). The Gray-headed looks like this: 30D, 100-400 @ 400mm, ISO-400, 1/200, f5.6, handheld

Always a joy to watch Mastah Romy's videos. It's like I'm there watching the bird with him.

Wonderful shot, Bob. This is one of my dream bird shot. Will this bird still be there in October? william, yes, they will be. Let me know when you will be here in Southern Cal so I can show you where the birds are. Thanks everybody for your nice comments.
