Common birds: robin, cardinal (pair), blue jay, downy woodpecker (male), mourning dove, house sparrow, goldfinch, starling, grackle, crow, red-tailed hawk?, house finch (pair),
Spring visitors: redwing blackbird, white throated sparrow, white crowned sparrow, hawk (ID?), yellow rumped warbler, magnolia warbler, chestnut sided warbler, solitary vireo (ID?), black throated blue warbler (female?), orange crowned warbler?
A difficult bit of note interpreting - I think what my notes meant was I saw a warbler which I thought was either a female black throated blue, OR an orange crowned warbler, not both. I think I've seen the orange crowned in previous years, but in this case I think it was the female black throated blue - I saw her a number of times in the spring, she has a noticable white patch on her wing, and is otherwise pretty much unmarked. That white bit isn't always visible though.

I will add that, in a few posts, I've written "hawk" without specifying. It's all I wrote down at the time, but in most cases it's likely a red-tailed hawk unless it says otherwise.

Spring visitors: white crowned sparrow, nashville warbler, yellow rumped warbler, baltimore oriole, rose-breasted grosbeak
We also went to the park, and in the park I saw: common yellowthroat (male), and palm warbler
I saw a grey bird with a pale front, and a small brown bird I couldn't see well enough to ID. I also saw a sparrow at home, which I thought was either a swamp or a clay-coloured - looking back and having seen it a few times in the spring, I think it was a clay-coloured sparrow.
