This bird is so beautiful.
This is a Belding's Yellowthroat. If you see this bird, it may be the last time anyone ever sees it. It's related to the Common Yellowthroat, this
bird ONLY lives in a few esteros in Baja. Hello golf courses, goodbye, Beldings Yellowthroat.

I've always liked them. We see them at golf courses. We used to refer to them as the "masked bandit" but they never steal anything.

Sure okay. The Common Yellowthroat looks like this fuzzy photo.
Look at the BIG white stripe on the head
We see these birds all the time!

Zorro Bird? :-)
Love the Zorro mask the bird has. Too bad about the displacement of this little guy's habitat ............

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
