Day 4 Life Birds

It is so enjoyable to see a bird I've never seen before.  Today I saw 6-7 life birds!  I saw a Black-throated Sparrow, a Bushtit, an Ash-throated Flycatcher, a Pinyon Jay, a Curve-billed Thrasher, a female Black-chinned Hummingbird and I heard a Green-tailed Towhee, but I could not locate it.  Other birds seen that I've only seen a time or two before.  I saw many Common Ravens, some Rock Wrens, a Canyon Wren, and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.  It was a fun day!

At first I was thinking that this was a Great Crested Flycatcher
 like we see at home, but then when eBird didn't accept that I 
realized it was an Ash-throated Flycatcher, which was a life bird for me.
The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Black-throated Sparrow
Pinyon Jay
The Rock Wren was not a life bird, but it is a bird I rarely see.
The female Black-chinned Hummingbird was a surprise to me!
