I was only able to spend about an hour and a half in the yard late on the afternoon of June 2, but I obtained some very nice photos of some of my visitors.  I’m just going to post some of the photos I took without much explanation.

Male Bushtit…

White-crowned sparrow…

Female Brown-headed cowbird.  (I later saw the male through the kitchen window.)

European starling…

Male American goldfinch…

Spotted towhee.  I’m fairly certain that this is a male but I sometimes have difficulty distinguishing the sexes of the pair I have in the yard unless I see them together.

And just about when I had given up on warblers, I had an Orange-crowned warbler and a male Yellow-rumped warbler (Audubon’s) visit the yard in fairly quick succession.

These weren’t the only birds I photographed and of course they aren’t the only photographs I have of the birds I did photograph.  Habitat rewards!
