I'm unsure that my identification is correct. This bird has been visiting for a week or two. He gets under the little oak tree at the edge of the patio and scratches, scratches, scratches among the leaves to find the acorns. It's rather charming.

Western Rufous-sided Towhee?

Passing Through: Baltimore Oriole
This Baltimore oriole hung around all weekend, making good use of the oriole feeder; the Scott's orioles didn't seem to mind. It had a longer variation of the usual beautiful song. The bird book calls them "fiery orange," which I found true, and quite gorgeous.
Also seen this weekend, but no photo taken, was an indigo bunting; much like the lazuli bunting of a couple of weeks ago, but no rosy chest, just blue all over.
Saturday morning was exceedingly gray, as you can tell.
