    Some more bird shots...

    Well today I saw this bird that I don't ever recall seeing here in the Bay Area before. Maybe it's that I just never noticed before. Can someone ID it? I love the colors on it. The last is of a Crow I guess in a parking lot.

    This bird makes me think that a Robin had an affair with a Blue Jay one late Friday night and this was the end result

    That is a western bluebird. We have eastern bluebirds in my area. The main difference is the color of the throat and sides of the neck. The western's are blue, the easterns are reddish brown.
