Birds of Summer 2019

Welcome to my visual diary of the beautiful birds I photographed during the summer months. I was so blessed to photograph four new bird species ...the Northern Red Bishop and the Pin-tailed Whydah, which are native to Africa; the Blue Grosbeak; and the Indigo Bunting, which is classified as a rare bird for my area.

This is a male Northern Red Bishop, which is Native to Africa. This colorful weaver is a popular cagebird, and escapees have established nesting populations in coastal southern California.<br />

This was the first time I had come upon this species and I photographed 2 males and a female in the city of Pico Rivera, California.
