The same young Say's Phoebe as in yesterday's post:

Mealtime for a fledgling Say's Phoebe at Harry Griffen Park in La Mesa, California.
I wonder where my next meal is coming from?
Over here?
Over there?
Up there?
Maybe I should call Door-Dash...
No, lets call Grub-Hub!!
Nothing like home-delivery!
Hey, maybe I can fetch my own snack. This spider looks tasty!

El Monte Park has become one of my favorite spots in San Diego County for bird photography. It is a developed park, but has mature oak and conifer trees and is surrounded by chaparral-covered hills. There are often dripping faucets which also attract birds.
Here are a few birds seen one late afternoon last month.
Western Bluebird:
Hooded Oriole, female:
Black Phoebe:
Cassin's Kingbird:
This European Starling was making a huge racket at Brawley's Riverview Cemetery, another good birding spot in Brawley. I'm not sure why!
Photographed last month.
A few more birds photographed last month at Cattle Call Park in Brawley, California.
Cattle Call Park is excellent for birding. It is a green area in the desert, and a river flows next to it, so it has birds that reside there as well as migrants passing through.
Here are a few of the resident birds.
Common Ground Dove:
Ladder-backed Woodpecker:
A Vermilion Flycatcher is silhouetted atop a pennant-shaped sculpture:
A Pacific-slope Flycatcher, photographed last month at Cattle Call Park in Brawley:
I think the Ash-throated Flycatcher is a very handsome bird!
Here is one perched at Cattle Call Park in Brawley. Photographed last month.
