There were quite a few birds around our campsite at Abiquiu Lake: Mountain Bluebird, Oregon Junco, Williamson's Sapsucker, Western Scrub-Jay, Townsend's Solitaire, and Canyon Towhee. I'm convinced that Townsend's Solitaires do not have a sense of self because one kept attacking its reflection in our RV windows day after day after day. The noise from its chirping and banging into the windows got old, but the bird kept returning to some favorite perches between attacks so it was easy to get some good shots of it. The Western Scrub-Jays liked the sunflower seeds we out in a feeder, and the Oregon Juncos enjoyed foraging on the ground.
