First is a Pyrrhuloxia. Second is a Rufous-Sided Towee.

THAT is NOT what my favorite redhead looks like!
 
Oh yes, @dademoss , I forgot that I saw a bluebird a few different times. Such a treat for me.
Cedar waxwings were seen in the yard too. They are so cool looking.
When we had an elderberry tree next to our home we used to see a lot of cedar waxwings, also grosbeaks and bullocks oriole, sadly our bird counts are way down probably due to the spraying of herbicides and insecticides and we just don't see hardly any song birds, just a few Oregon juncos and towhees.
 
A Killdeer (odd name isn't it?), and a Cardinal.

Killdeer are ground nesters and will actually pretend to have a broken wing when you get too close to it. One nested next to the trail we walked on to the barn on the back of the property. That was the first time I experienced this.

 
Every time I look at birds I see dinosaurs...
