Thinking Brewer's Sparrow, probably a juvenile.

 

[Roy1961]

what sort of wren is this?

 

[Stoshowicz]

To me it looks Like a marsh wren despite the lack of much of a supercilliar - eyebrow , line.

 

[Roy1961]

Kinda hard to see, but it may be an immature towhee -- they are everywhere this year

That one has me not sure looks like one but usually has brown on the undertail
I'd still go with Catbird with the dark cap and the slate colour

 

[Roy1961]

it was bad light and the sun wasnt up yet [MENTION=10762]Kevin H[/MENTION] but to me it was a gray color, now there were lots of blackbirds about, redwing, tricolor and brewers.

this and along with the Juvi is a new bird for me.

 

[Stoshowicz]

I vote for one of the titmouses , and Brewers blackbird. ( I dont know your local species well)

Thanks. That was the best I could get from that distance. I cropped it way down. Good enough for an ID, so I am happy.
