Okay, thanks. That wide eye ring threw me.

Thanks. I've got to go back and try to get some good photos. That was 40+ feet up in a very tall sycamore -- and she was not being very cooperative.

Chestnut-sided Warbler at Bette Davis Picnic Area in Glendale, CA

Taken on 9-19-2022 at Bette Davis Picnic Area in Glendale, CA. I'm having a hard time with this one.

Taken on 9-19-2022 on the Los Angeles River in Glendale, CA. Is this one identifiable?

Taken on 9-15-2022 at Bette Davis Picnic Area in Glendale CA. This was not the subject of these photos, but rather in the background. I think its a Song Sparrow, but not confident.

Taken on 9-15-2022 at Bette Davis Picnic Area in Glendale, CA. I need help with this one. The lighting is not too good. Taken at sundown from below.

That looks like a Yellow Warbler to me. 😄

It's a great photo!

Is that a plastic owl for scaring off other birds?

Here is the best photo I have of the face. I didn't want to prejudice your opinion, but there was a Neotropic about 10-15 feet away from this one. If this is a NECO, it's interesting that there is no white edging on the gular patch. There were about 40 Double-crested Cormorant's on and around this island -- mostly in the trees near this one.

I've never seen one with the dark patch in that position. Thanks.

You're too fast. Edited and uploaded. Thanks.
