Today I saw a MacGillivray's Warbler at Pelonconi Park, Anaheim Hills. It is a small park, really a ravine. I guess the Santa Ana winds the last few days had some birds looking for a place to hide out, because it has been loaded with birds the last couple days.
Someone told me about the MacGillivray's they saw there, and I found her today and spend quite a long time trying to get some kind of pics.
Edited May 2. First of all, this one is most likely an Orange-crowned Warbler
Here is the MacGillivray's I photographed the next day (May 2)
Besides lots of Pacific-slope Flycatchers, there were lots of other Empids. I think Pewee, Hammond's, maybe Willow, and Dusky and/or Gray. Anyway, some pics
(May 2 edit) Talked with some experienced OC birders today and settled on what these birds are. Western Wood Pewee, Hammond's and Gray Flycatchers.
And a Chipping Sparrow

Thanks PlanB: almost all birds that I rarely see.
BobDa, is the last one a Say's Phoebe? I guess they are pretty common for all of you but not for me.

First thing to look for on a Dusky is the beak hook.
Do you ever feel you're being watched?

Reilly, are those Clark's Nutcrackers in that tree?
And if so is that a photo shop?
Night Heron's? What the hell are those?

John, did you count all seven of them? No shopping of the specious variety - just some judicious dodging.

Wow you guys, lots of fun shots above. Empids, woodies, the bible, "surf" birds, dirtbags, Clarke's, bird sex, Sandhill's, bathing Tanny's, nice.
I've got a couple from today. I'm saving my Pelagic (Spring Pelagic 5/3/14) shots till the eBird list is posted.
Wilson's Phalaropes
A Spotted Sandpiper with SPOTS. Finally!
Clarke's Grebes
I spent 45 minutes trying to get a decent Warbling Vireo shot. Mini epic and not too successful. Best of effort.
The Swainson's Thrushes are abundant. It's a soft "Whit."
