Cholla!

I’ve seen some of their nests, built right into the Cholla cactus!

Had a little trouble identifying this one…hope this is right. The White-Crowned Sparrow is pretty common here and the literature says the immature of this species has a brown stripe on the head. Looks like the case!

Struggled with identifying this one as well but pretty sure it is the female Lesser Goldfinch.
