About a dozen birds hopping around in the grass near a bike path and on the concrete under an electrical tower. From a distance I thought they were all the same, but iNat suggests that some are pipits and others are warblers.

No it isn’t!
American Crow
Cassin’s Kingbird
When your friend wants to take a photo but you just want to hide.
Heerman’s gull
Heerman’s gull. They’re not as common here as western gulls, but I do see them occasionally. This one didn’t feel like trying to fly in the wind, which was blowing other seagulls sideways. And in some cases backward.
European Starling
I saw at least three starlings, but I could still hear them up in the transmission tower after those three flew off.
Eurasian Collared-Dove
I found it kind of amusing that the wind was constant enough to keep this sign almost horizontal the entire time.

Fox Squirrel
Lesser Goldfinch
All three of these birds (lesser goldfinches, maybe? I have seen them in the general area.) were in the same tree. I think there were several others based on the sound, but it was hard to tell since the yellow birds blended in so well with the yellow-green leaves.
