Birds

Twitter
Some recent pictures of birds from our recent weekend wanderings here in San Diego. We were not into birding before, but somehow, since we had experienced the joy of young peregrine falcons spring of last year, we were hooked. :)
Juvenile Peregrine Falcon

Before, whenever we see birds in San Diego, we would just dismiss them as "just birds"! Now, they are no longer "just birds", they are BIRDS! Special creatures with wings, serenading us with soothing songs and chants. 
Here are some shots of birds we captured lately here in San Diego.
TERN ( SORRY, FORGOT WHAT SPECIFIC TERN IS THIS )
PEREGRINE FALCON, LA JOLLA 

NIGHT HERON, LAKE HODGES
OSPREY, MISSION BAY
GREBES, LAKE HODGES
DOUBLE CRESTED CORMORANT , LA JOLLA
BIRDS IN FLIGHT, LAKE HODGES

We are still not very sure if we'll progress into birders. It's easy usually to identify birders in the trail, they carry the following:
1. Birding Book :) 
2. Swarovski binocular
3. PATIENCE (this one can't be bought )
As of now, all those 3 above that the birders carry, we do not have. But we sure enjoy seeing birds when we hike. 

BIRDS, THEY SURE ARE SUCH A JOY TO WATCH!!
