Pretty sure it's a Herring Gull, but not positive.

This looks like western to me. 

[roadcykler]

It could be and probably is. I'm not good with the gulls because there are so many of them.

Cool stuff on this page!  I haven't been birding much this year, but I decided to go somewhere new this afternoon.  It's a popular walking spot, but I didn't feel self-conscious about carrying my big lens, which was nice.  If anything, I wish I could have shown people the results!

A raven was hopping around in the distance.

After a while, I found some Pygmy Nuthatches (I think?).  They were gathering seeds from flowers, and were fairly fearless.  I was standing about 10 feet from the flower, and they just kept coming back over and over again.

White-crowned Sparrow, some reason its's not as sharp when I upload it here. 

 

Quiz for @AlexHenry, what subspecies is this? This one is easily identified down to ssp.

Unfortunately, photos are compressed when uploaded to whatbird. Posting through a third party site like Flickr, Imgur, etc., allows the viewer to click to the original photo where they'll be able to see the uncompressed version.

I figured that. It makes since, given that we don't have much storage to upload to whatbird to compress it.
