Bird migration underway

Here's a closeup of a scaled or sometimes called a cottontop quail. They have been here for several months in groups as large as fourteen but have paired off to breed now.

Western tanager.

Bullock's orioles have been here before but rarely this early. There is a spotted towhee here but so far no pix.
Northern mockingbird added 10 May.
This rose-breasted grosbeak could be a hybrid as they are out of their range but they will interbreed with black-headed grosbeaks which are in this range. Added 10 May.
