Thank you! I'm not great at identifying birds.
That’s how we learn, observing and asking questions.
I have been birding since 1971. Just keep your eyes open and ask questions.
Cabezon has been a wealth of information and I am in awe what he passes along. Thanks Cabezon.
I really started my birding on the Nisqually Delta. Still a stellar place to visit. You can basically bird anywhere. Just bring your curiosity with you, and a bird book.

Sometimes you don't fight light and just give in.
For some reason the birds here in the Pokonos seem very skittish, been hard to get decent photos, but finally, some cooperation.

Pileated Woodpecker:
We have a lot of old dead wood around, so he's happy:
Cheers

Recent planned trip and hikes with my daughter at Pinnacles National Park while driving her back to school after spring break. An opportunity to see the first California Condors in my lifetime. Pretty amazing to see in the wild, considering my childhood memory of the remaining few being captured and their offspring fed with hand puppets in an effort to save the species. To see a pair mating was a highlight, as well as a couple peregrine chases any time they approached its nesting cliff. Atop the high peaks I was able to view them at eye level.

It’s been quite a few years since I’ve seen Evening Grosbeaks at the feeder. Good to see them back.
What I am pretty certain is a Red Shouldered Hawk - I hear him a lot, rarely get to see him, and he rarely stays perched when the camera is handy:

Red Shouldered, one of a neighborhood nesting pair.
Spent a couple of weeks in Honolulu, and hiked out to Kaena point. Saw a bunch of nesting Laysan Albatross.
There were tons of these little guys everywhere
Saw plenty of other exotic birds, including frigate birds and parrots but I was surprised how many of the backyard birds are introduced.

Very different environments and very different birds! The first two were in my backyard tonight at dusk; the first was taken at a heavily processed ISO12800 and the second at ISO3200. Might have to see if I can get a better shot tomorrow during the day.
From a BC Ferry a few weeks ago.
