I'm confused. That is an N. Shrike's bill and some intermediate eye-mask.
At the moment I want to say: great catch Dee ee.
These are Northern from up here in the fall.

John, I warranty-ed up to the SX 60.
Darwin, note minimal white around eye and lack of barring on breast. But, hmmm, that bill does seem extra hooked.

Today was our long awaited field trip to the Seal Beach Nat. Wildlife Refuge (AKA Naval Weapons Reserve). Here are 3 of the best.
I went with the San Bernardino Valley group led by ex-climber and guide book author Brad Singer.
Ferruginous Hawk
Nelson's Sparrow (dull) (we've seen a bright one there as well)
And the big surprise was a Sage Thrasher

Gnome ... ; Red-shouldered Hawk? Where was that? Beautiful and we just don't have them much(at-all) in Western Washington. I've seen them perched in California, but never got such a good view flying.
Thanks all the rest of course.
ps: I wouldn't hearing about Bob's flycatcher ^^^. I don't want to embarrass myself more than usual by venturing a guess. aw heck: WWPW?

Sibley says "pidiweew,pidireep,pidiweew,pidireep
Hope that helps

Bob,
that photo of the red-wings is amazingly captivating. Great shot.
Dar, I think that flycatcher is a Say's Phoebe.
sorry, no (crappy) photos to add to this post,
