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.
