A lovely Western Meadowlark in Panoche Valley. They have an incredible song and seem capable of throwing their voice. One of my favorite birds.

Acorn on the Wing /
I love Acorn Woodpeckers. Maybe it's their clown-like raucous character or their striking plumage - whatever it is they always delight me. This female decided to hawk insects above my head for a few minutes and it was amazing to watch her pick nearly invisible bugs from the air.
Above, she has just snapped up a bug and is about to return to her perch.
It can be hard to detect their grace unless you slow them down or freeze a moment in time.
