These first three photos are by Karl Schneck at his home east of I-5 on North valley View Road. I especially enjoyed the line-up of Zonotrichia sparrows including the less-than-common White-throated. 
Two shots of a Western Kingbird at Indian Tom Lake in Siskiyou County:
White Pelicans, like small stranded ships in a sea of grass. In Klamath Basin, Oregon side of the border.
Yellow-headed Blackbird at Indian Tom Lake. Below: an Avo-set.
