on buffalo bur, Solanum rostratum
Pretty scruffy
Somehow got oiled. Flew away before I could give it a bath in Dawn.
Not sure who this is??
There was a lot of yellow on breast, with greens and red/orange on the head. Larger than a finch, a little smaller that a robin. I was too slow to catch on photo
iPhone photo , though a dirty window
I previously thought maybe a young Western Tanager, since I saw one of them the same day as well.
I wish I had been able to get a couple better photos. It was such a pretty bird.
AI suggested Platypus
