Caught this fellow through the kitchen window. Shot through the window pane and all. 5diii with 70-200 f4 at 200, iso 100, f10. 1/200. Only PP was cropping and a bit of warming in WB. I think I really like this camera!

The blue tit (along with the several other European tit species) are in the same family (Paridae) as the titmouse and chickadee. The Latin name used to be Parus caeruleus, but they've reclassified it as Cyanistes caeruleus. The coal tit looks very similar to a chickadee.Coal Tit on Pine by Kernuak (avalonlightphotoart.co.uk), on FlickrThen you have the great tit.Great Tit in a Tree by Kernuak (avalonlightphotoart.co.uk), on FlickrMy favourite is probably the crested tit, probably because of the rarity, but I only have a single very distant shot from several years ago. I haven't even seen the equally rare bearded tit, unless you count a speck through binoculars, where I wouldn't have been able to ID it without someone else telling me it was there.
LSV - I didn't think we had any Yellow Crowned Night Herons here - though I did note you mention "rare". According to whatbird.com this bird doesn't in southern Cal. http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/53/_/Yellow-crowned_Night-Heron.aspx. Was there any mention as to what the Yellow heron was doing in this part? Fascinating and good eye !
