rags, your photos are always wonderful, and these are no exception. Looks like you borrowed the yellow-rumped warbler, but all things considered, that's fine.

I'm beginning to think we have the Crows From Hell here this spring. They usually pass through, but these have stayed and are nesting. And they're dragging all sorts of food into my bird baths. Bread, hotdog buns, hot dogs. Lizards. Birds. Yes, I'm finding bits of animals they have eaten in the bird bath water. Perhaps they are picking up roadkill - I think the hotdogs are coming from the other side of a busy boulevard. But this is really bizarre this year, and even people who rarely notice birds have remarked on their unusual behavior.
