I found this one in an area with lots of competition from raptors. Hopefully it can hold its ground.

Looking forward to their babies next spring.

They are our Christmas birds. Every year, when December comes, they migrate to Southern California. They love all kinds of berries, especially when they gather in flocks to eat Toyon berries. Their festive colors add even more to the Christmas spirit.

They recently migrated to Southern California for the winter.

After a failed hunting attempt, the osprey took a bath instead.

I met her on foggy days, rainy days, sunny days, and cloudy days. 🧡
