Mum, I saw this bird today..I thought it was a blue heron, but it seems too blue, any ideas??

chabba

Beautiful blue, much too blue for a heron--or at least any I've seen in life or photo.  Also looks more crane then heron to my less than expert eye.

SoCalLisa

I saw in a book it could be a little blue heron,,but they aren't a west coast bird..

SoCalLisa

but I guess they come to baja california in winter

chabba

What ever it is I like.

Lisa, Love the beach pics!  and that birdie what ever he/she is, is beautiful!!!

we always have to remember too...different seasons, different colors. i was amazed when hub and i started doing amateur birding how the males/females looked so different from one season to the next, and whether they were young or pre-adult, or adult, or older. birds really are fascinating species

Your right Lisa it is a little Blue Heron and yes have been spotted on the southern west coast including Mexico.The blue  beak confirms ID but your right they are not usually so healthy looking.

 

SoCalLisa

Thanks Mum..

any idea what this is, it looks like a flying raccoon

SoCaLisa, I think your bird is an albatross. Looks like one from the ones I saw before.

chabba the owls are great. What is the one that looks like an albino finch?

chabba

I don't know.  A couple of comenters on the local site I copied it from say it is a McKay's bubtibg.  Supposed to be rare in this area.  Apparently this one showed up about the time the snowy owls did.

Lisa, that's the ass-end of the bird isn't it??? See how the wings are in position. That bird is flying away from us, right?

chabba

The owl? Yes. Lisa's pic, I think so.

SoCalLisa

funny, I guess it is a pelican?

SoCalLisa

I know one thing I know squat about birds...
