A Woodhouse's Scrub-jay is a large, lanky songbird with a long tail and a stout bill. Adults are light blue and gray above, with a whitish throat, grayish belly, and thin, partial breast band of pale blue. This one is floofed up and glaring impatiently at you from a branch in an Emory Oak tree.

The Pygmy Nuthatch is a tiny bird with a relatively large, rounded head, no discernible neck, and a straight, sharp bill. The legs are short, the wings are short and broad. This particular borb perches in profile on a curved pine branch against the canopy in bokeh.

Ahhh, that's better...you feel cooler just seeing snow. Fact. An American Bushtit, the best kind of Bushtit imo, sits perched in a snowy Ponderosa Pine as snow continues to fall, with a few bits stuck on the little birds head. Shot through a 50 year old cabin window.
