Toss some quick guesses on your first three.

1. Yellow rumped warbler
2. California towhee
3. Yellow rumped warbler

More later. I did that with no books - on the run, so hopefully not leading you astray! Pretty birds!!

Thanks Crimp I did more research and think the hummingbird is an Anna's Hummingbird.

I'm poor at Identifying hummingbirds. She's a pretty one! Still waiting for all our birds...lots of Meadowlarks have shown lately. Can't wait to see the rest!

Bob,

Nice one of the Dipper. I've never gotten that close, at least with a camera ready.

Our local Osprey pair has been busy at the nest. The male is bringing fish to the female and there has been lots of copulation, but no eggs yet.

There is also a Peregrine Falcon pair in the neighborhood. Here the big size difference is evident.

still awaiting my Least & Caspian Terns and Black Oyster Catcher

Hey, Riley, do you see Beardless Tyrannulets around your hood? They're my #1
target on my upcoming SE AZ trip so I'm gathering all the beta possible.
Apparently they will nest in nothing other than the outer branches of sycamores
near lots of bushes. They only rate an ABA Code 2 which seems like serious
sandbagging to me!
