LA Arboretum June 2021

Today we saw more Great Horned owls–two juveniles. Probably the babies of the mom we saw three weeks ago

The highlight was seeing the Pin-Tailed Wydah. A bird found in Africa, it was a stunner!! Look at how he dances

These birds are also brood parasites (speaking of which, we saw a cowbird that was getting fed by a song sparrow down by the lake in the Arboretum this morning (pics below)… first time to see the cowbirds working a song sparrow. Tracey saw one being fed by a junco. Sheesh.
