i was driving along head out the window and passed what i thought was a red winged blackbird, stopped and had second thoughts, that was a white stripe below the red, meaning a tricolor blackbird, in reverse and drew along side it.........

That last one post 1370 IMo looks like a European starling to me ,the initially light edged-tipped feathers , wear to that dark color ,
post 1361 looks like a chickadee with some obfuscating items near the short bill ,
post 1360 looks like one of the flycatchers or western wood pewee,, _ I think its the pewee... theyre always tough.
Those Stellar Jays are really nifty.

the chicks are getting bigger, they must have remembered us feeding them last week, as soon as they saw me they came straight over and out of the water, i will take some bread down tomorrow and feed them again.
