Continuing my efforts at extreme bird closeups...Not so much wind today, but some.
Love the salmon-colored undertail feathers. Just like the wing linings.
This one is a female Western flicker. The males have a red "whisker mark."
Love it when I can see the feather detail. And look at those claws! The second photo is a white-winged dove.
The amaryllis bud stalks have caught up and passed the leaves in length. They are leaning away from the window because I turned the pot around this morning to keep them growing reasonably straight. Here's last week's photo for comparison.
