Cool! Thanks.

Oh sweet! That's a good field diagnostic I'll have to keep in mind. Thanks!

Common Chiffchaff/Willow Warbler

Common Chiffchaff/Willow Warbler

Still cannot tell apart Common Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers. Any tips? They're usually not the most vocal around me too... makes it extra confusing!

You're gonna have to take that up with whichever Ornithological body named this little guy 😅
I like your idea though!

Scrub Jay? ❌
American Robin? ❌
Rufous-crowned Sparrow? ❌
Red-tailed Hawk? ❌

Wait those are all American birds... What if we mixed them all up and made the result vaguely Mediterranean?

Someone's having a bad hair day, huh? 😆 Used to have a resident Green Heron at my local park before it got closed off for renovations. Miss the big fella 😢

spotting a red-tailed hawk!

had to do a full-size raptor to test out a transition into the "lifer minigame" from the in-flight minigame. still some edges to polish but looking good generally

A better look at the tail! #reptiles

Carrot-tailed Chuckwalla hiding under a rock. Its carrot shaped and colored tail can be seen.

Apparently this exact type of Chuckwalla Lizard (carrot-tailed) only lives on South Mountain Preserve in Phoenix. How lucky am I to casually run into one?! 🦎 🌵
