Black Phoebe
Desert Cottontail (SCBG, side of trail)
Western Fence Lizard (in mottled shade and greenery)
Zenaida
Large White-headed Gulls
Mitred Parakeet
I heard parakeets squawking from around the corner of the block, then turned the corner to see three of them perched on a cable up above the street. After a minute or two, one of them flew over to the top section of a nearby palm tree.

Canada Goose and Gosling
Two adult geese and two younger geese were walking around the grass feeding. One of the adults was staying close to the juveniles.
Fox Squirrel
Gulf Fritillary
House Sparrow
Black Phoebe
Large White-headed Gulls
When I first spotted it, the gull was trying to carry off the entire paper bag. I guess it decided there wasn’t anything in it worth taking.
Red-tailed Hawk (transmission tower, June Gloom)
Perched on top of a transmission tower where I’ve occasionally seen a hawk before. There are at least two in the area, as I’ve seen them flying together a couple of times.
This northern mockingbird flew across the street and landed on a lawn.
This northern mockingbird flew across the street and landed on a lawn. While I got the camera out, it flew up to a rooftop, then flew across the street again to land on a signpost, where it stretched its wings briefly (as seen here).
Fun fact: mockingbirds are able to recognize individual humans, and their ability to mimic sounds extends beyond birds to cats, dogs, and even car alarms.
