Birding around home

Spotted a Parrot (a Red Crowned one?) near ma home lol. Was perched on an electric line! It was rather late, almost 7pm or something. Heard Parrots are active from dusk, but today morning, at Eaton Canyon, spotted a pair at the southern side of the Equestrian Circle!  I think there was also a Western Bluebird? Not sure though.

Checking the photos and very interesting. Rufous crowned and  Song Sparrows? Red Crossbill?!! Kingbird, and a Flycatcher?


No. Mockingbirds are everywhere, probably one of the most populous birds around. But to my surprise, not only at Fuller Seminary, but also near home, spotted a Black Phoebe! Isn't it usually around water sources? Weird..?


Today, also explored nearby parks, at Gwinn Park found a Western Bluebird methink? And at Eaton Sunnyslope Park, exactly on a fence bordering on Eaton Wash water route, No. Mockingbirds.
Plenty of birds were around at a Alice's Dog Park(Vina Vieja Park), not only Doves and Starlings, Sparrows? and methink even a Hooded Oriole! And, surprisingly, Brewer's Blackbirds!! I thought they live in desert areas like IW...?


Here in So. Cal, imo two birds signify the arrival of Spring; European Starling and Lesser Goldfinch; I see those quite frequently from March!
