Yesterday a sharp-shinned hawk flew over my yard. That isn't too unusual, but I don't see the small hawks every day. Unfortunately, it zoomed quickly overhead and was gone before I could get a camera out.
This morning, when I went out into my yard to look for birds, I didn't see any hermit thrushes, but I saw a female Nuttall's woodpecker (males have a red spot on their heads, females don't) and an orange-crowned warbler eating persimmons. Here are photos of both of them.

Yesterday, a flock of bushtits passed through my yard. Bushtits are tiny, gray-brown birds that are almost always seen in flocks. They often hang upside-down searching for aphids. They're found on the west coast of the United States and down into Mexico.
