Wow, tons of great shots since my last post!!
Bob, that's an interesting Grosbeak hybrid (?). It does seem to have characteristics of both.

Great shots Dave!
Your Grebe looks like a Clark's even though the bill is a little dull. Tony says, "look at the bill."
edit: Here are a couple from Huntington Central Park today.
Only my 3rd Olive-sided flycatcher ever, second in OC.
CAGO family
I never see Yellow Warblers down low but saw 3 down low today along edge of Talbert Lake.

Hey DE, I saw an Olive-sided Flycatcher today too.
I got a new life bird today. A pair of Marbled Godwits. At the Cannery Road ponds in Kenai.
I also saw a pair of Three-toed Woodpeckers.

BN, I believe that is the Large-billed Savannah although he wasn't sposed to be there until August.
And will someone tell me what the strategy is behind those big-azzed yellow
feets? Maybe they act as a lure?

Based on the seemingly lighter and bi-colored bill I'm in the Black-headed camp.
But I'll camp with anybody!
BTW, I think it is a female - too much streaking for a male.
