I've lived in California for 32 years, and last year was the first time I saw a Hooded Oriole--it had a nest in the fan palm next to my house in the hills of Berkeley (Bay area). This year the oriole pair returned. Very beautiful bright yellow. Last year I also had my first ever sightings of a flock of Cedar Waxwings and a pair of Western Bluebirds. They camped out on a row of ornamental cherry trees last fall outside my office building in Pleasanton and stayed until every last berry was gone. I hope they remember to come back this fall. I do have a few colorful birds that stay here year round and are plentiful -- Spotted Towhees and Stellar Jays. I just bought a new Canon dSLR so it's time to start taking bird pictures!

Terrific photos! How wonderful that you got 4 fledglings and it's nice to see pics of them. They look like they are enjoying the banquet!
