. . . . . the elusive black-and-white-headed, gray-necked, sort-of-gray-winged, yellow-eyed, sticky-beaked, funny-top-feathered warbler. I thought I'd never catch one of these in the wild.

I always wondered what the scientific name for these were Jer, thanks for clearing that up. Nice catch here my friend, we don't have anything like this where I am right now, but I did see a raven once, but it was dead.

Nice capture of this Gold Crowned Night Heron. I saw his close cousin, the Black Crowned Night Heron, today on my bike ride. Unfortunately didn't have a camera with me.
