Cardinal getting territorial with itself in this mirror. It was doing the same thing last week too. It spends a not-insignificant amount of time battling itself.

euproserpinusDescription
Years ago, I heard that this moth will nectar at Manzanita flowers, but I thought I'd never be lucky enough to see it myself. This was spectacular, and the moth was very cooperative. Note that in some photos you can see it "cheating" by nectaring through holes in the side of the flower, and in one shot you can see the pollen falling our of the flower and then being blown upward in the updraft from the moth's wings!

Merlin (Falco columbarius)Observer
anudibranchmomDescription
Experts - What is going on here? This male American Kestrel sure did seem to have the hots for this female Merlin. He kept trying to get close to her and even brought her a few treats (insects?) from the grass beneath the fence. She accepted the treats but didn't seem thrilled with the attention. However, when he flew off, she followed him...

johnkargesDescription
Melanistic juvenile (likely male based on size relative to the Great-tailed Grackle it was feeding upon). Verified by William Clark, and Lance and Jill Morrow. First observed by M. Silvas with me, and I shouted "melanistic Cooper's Hawk, OMG" as I identified the bird preliminarily, before submitting it to experts for review.
