With the passing rains

This morning I was interested to see that we received almost 2 inches of rain last night.  Some of the local birds took advantage of the puddles.  I was pleasantly surprised to see a Clay-colored Sparrow (Spizella pallida) among them:



Likely the same bird in a Coyote Brush shrub (Baccharis pilularis):



Not too far away, a Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum) was finding something to eat on the pavement:



And here's a view of the same bird on a nearby Bush Lupine (Lupinus arboreus):


Nice views during a brief walk through the parking lot!

Thanks, Alice! I felt lucky to see these two...one of those right-place-at-the-right-time moments!
