Orioles are stunning to see in their orange phase. I have always dreamed of seeing a bright red Cardinal but not in the West I won't.

The Swallows arrived two months early this year, but the Hummingbirds a little late.

I don’t get swallows to my knowledge here and haven’t seen an Oriole in orange.

I do get tons of starlings, house finches and California quail. I’ve got two pair of Eurasian Collared Dove? nesting here, a pair of robins and killdeer who keep trying to run me out of my garden.

I do appreciate the golden eagles and the red tailed hawks. There is a great horned owl that has shown up a couple of times this spring - causes me to smug the house when he comes. :)
