Least Bell’s Vireo gleefully sings “Cheedle-cheedle-chee? Cheedle-cheedle-chew!” oblivious to its brush with extinction - in the 1980s there were fewer than 300 breeding pairs. Heartening to witness one in Los Angeles.

Only three grams but such a gutsy fighter: to defend its turf, the Allen’s Hummingbird will battle crows, mockingbirds and even Cooper’s hawks 100 times its weight.

This dapper bird’s ancestors were bought and sold in the pet trade under the birdcage name “Nutmeg Mannikin”, but escaped their captors and now fly free and proud as the Scaly-Breasted Munia.

Two Brown Pelicans

“A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'm damned if I see how the helican!”

This Neil Armstrong of birds (or perhaps, Avian Amelia Earhart?) crossed the Rocky Mountains solo, the first Field Sparrow to be spotted in California many years, a humble-looking but intrepid half-ounce explorer far from its usual habitat. A single 2-minute sighting in Griffith Park drew birders from near and far trying to see it again, so far to no avail.

Male acorn woodpecker (left) head coloring is white-against-red; female coloring is white-black-red, as if she’s wearing a black headband between her white forehead and red crown.
