Birding in Bakersfield

Just a few photos of some birds (and a Bobcat) spotted around Bakersfield. It was a foggy day, so the pics aren't very colorful - lol. Thanks to my friend Ali for helping me with the ID's :)

This bobcat was trotting along the dirt road off of the side of the lake. He didn't pay us much mind. Just kept trotting along til he finally laid down in some brush and proceeded to lick his paws - lol.
