Maybe a young starling? There were certainly a lot of adult starlings around.

A male and female house sparrow hopped across the street together, then stopped in the middle of the bike path and started mating. A second male sparrow showed up and the two males fought briefly. I think it was the second one that flew away. Then the female sparrow flew to the grass at the side of the path and they picked up where they left off.
I lost count of how many finches I saw
I don’t know if it’s the same hawk I saw yesterday, but it’s in roughly the same area.
It just sat there perched on the wire while I took several photos. It seemed totally unconcerned.
I’m not 100% certain – the yellowish color is mostly from the sunset lighting – but the head doesn’t seem to have the shape I’m used to seeing on Black Phoebes, which I see a lot more of here, and I have seen Say’s Phoebes in the area.
