Mouse... I think your sparrow at the top below the Swamp Sparrow is a first winter White-crowned Sparrow (by bill color).
Here is a Nelson's Sharp Tailed Sparrow (sorta rare on the west coast)

That's a nice shot of the cormorant.
What kind of settings were you using?
I always like to ask because I have a hard time with birds in flight.
The faster the exposure the better. 1000 of a second is good but you have to have the light..
Some of the shot's of Hummers here must have been at 4000 and above.
Great thread.
EDIT
Slater , you are ripping it up.

Wow, beautiful shots above you guys!
I had a good find today at Tucker, not a lifer or county year bird though. I found a rare "Taiga" (red) subspecies of Fox Sparrow. Not a great photo, a motorcyclist scared it away. I think Doug Willick said we get maybe 2 a year in Orange County.
A few more.
