Description
I don't know what kind; he was just hanging out in a tree as we walked by. I took a lot of bird photos while walking around the beach and pier, most of them sea gulls... All i know about this bird, is I am kinda sure it isn't a sea gull. :) It was a hard day for photos (for me) as it was gray and sunless, but I snapped away to see if I would have any luck.
My previous upload, "Pelican in Flight". Thanks for stopping by!

When I saw the title, on my "notifications" page, I didn't expect the image that greeted me, and needless to say, that's the first pleasant surprise. And then the image itself...WOW! I love the fact that it's exactly what the title says, but it's not your normal "palm tree" shot, and I think that's where it works best: I mean, it works incredibly well on a lot of levels, but that's the level that "makes it" for me. I really like the intimate focus on the palm tree, especially since it has such nice textures and unexpected colors. Well, unexpected for me. I live in Chicago, we don't "do" Palm tree stuff here and so I'm really surprised to see a bit of red where I didn't expect red. And the bird is simply handsome and perfectly posed. All-in-all, this is a fantastic photo.

i think it's a sort of corvids ?! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Caledonian_Crow i don't know whether it fits, but beautiful captured in front of the bright palmtree!!

Wow, from the looks of it, that could be a jackdaw, generic black bird, merl, but certainly not a crow, Melinda. And the beaches around Southern Calif tend to remain overcast and drab this time of year, even when the inner city and valleys are bright and sunny. Rain forecast beginning Friday through Sunday.

What a beautiful shot Melinda..I love the image and the colors. Birds are amazing and who knows what this one might have been doing, perhaps checking out a nesting spot, or perhaps just about to "steal" some of the palm tree fibre for a nest somewhere else....I also- have no idea what type of bird it might be, apart from a blackbird, hehe..and am with you...it sure isnt a seagull...:)
