Unfortunately I didn&#8217;t have my camera gear unpacked yet and in the rush to set up I neglected to change the aperture from f\/16 (good for bugs, bad for birds), so it&#8217;s a pretty crappy picture. No worries. I&#8217;ll get much better shots of this bird later. They&#8217;re everywhere around here.<\/p>\n<p>I think this is the second life bird I&#8217;ve gotten at an active airport. The first was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elharo.com\/blog\/birding\/2007\/03\/24\/373-burrowing-owl\/\">Burrowing Owl at San Jose Mineta<\/a> a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a huge green iguana in the Hertz parking lot, but it ran under a car before I could get a shot of it. Haven&#8217;t seen another of those yet.<\/p>\n<p>I had a likely Pearly-eyed Thrasher pair at dinner too, but I didn&#8217;t have my binoculars or field guide or camera with me.
