Here are five terrific shots by George Peterson, all taken during our survey for Area 8 in the Ashland CBC: 
The two shots of the little tyke with the white eyebrow, those are Mountain Chickadees wintering down at about 2600′


This crested character is one of the many Oak Titmouse (TITMICE?) we saw.
One of the five dozen Scrub-Jays in our area.
FURTHER FOTOS These are all images I took. The kestrel is pretty nice: 

We had a half dozen Red-breasted Sapsuckers on our count. This one was around the playground at Em Lake Recreation Area. More than once we heard the sapsuckers make their squealing sound, like a rubber dog toy being squeezed suddenly and sharply.

Black-capped Chickadee.
California Towhee on the roadside of Greensprings Spur.

ACTION! CAMERA!! I love this new camera I’m using. Suddenly the blurs make a little sense and are so much fun to look at.

You’ll recognize most of these figures in motion. The yellow smears in the upper right corner of the above image indicate incoming Pine Siskins, the yellow on their wings fully exposed.
In this lastg picture the Titmouse is leaning abck as if to admire the flight of the birds nearby.
