I heard some check and tsik kind of sounds, but there were several other birds around, including a house wren, so I can't say for sure that I heard this particular bird.

Hello again,  Yellow-breasted Chat or Common yellow-throat. I'm leaning towards the latter. Seen this day in Ventura County, Ca.   Thanks!   Matthew

Hello,   This may be a Bell's Vireo;  I can't reasonably call it anything else based on the quick attempt I made. Thanks for any help.   Seen December 2007 in Ventura County, Ca.    Matthew

hello,   going through some older photos and think this may be a vesper sparrow. taken in february, 2008; forgot where already.   thanks for any help. more to come...   matthew ventura county, ca.

Sorry about the poor photo quality... Forgot my tripod!   Are they even the same bird? The pictures weren't taken back to back.

Hello again!   Seen today at the Santa Clara River Estuary, Ventura, Ca.   Thank you! 

Thank you!  

Hello,   Seen today on Cañada Larga Road, north of Ventura, Ca. Also seen were Bullock's orioles, Western Bluebird, California Quail, Cedar Waxwing, Blue Grosbeak, Western Kingbird, and the omnipresent Bushtit.   Thanks!   Matthew 

Really? California Towhee? That was my first impression, but the way it was perched on the line like that, and it's song... it seemed more like a flycatcher of some kind. The conical beak sure doesn't say flycatcher, though.   I will defer to popular opinion... Anymore thoughts?
