Barn owl in the Arcata Bottoms

Barn owl in a barn

Blue and black bird

common raven? unsure about the exact species of corvid. had a very croaky call, was huge! almost the size of a mid sized chicken.

first time seeing a wild kestrel!! there were two and were significantly smaller than a hawk. were hard to get clear pictures of because they kept moving. very talkative!

i have no idea what this is!

Vagrant to the west coast, visited the yard sporadically throughout the winter.
