Goofy as it is, this bird is a yard lifer (170/171):
Was glad to get it in the chickadee lure just now. Also for the first time in a long time there was a family group of these guys around too:
Addendum: Shortly after this, I was able to rile up a flock of migrants further back near the landlord's property, and was shocked to have a bird looking a lot like this (no pics, unfortunately):

It was a MOWA (171/172) with nearly complete eyering, momentarily raising my hopes for my first ever fall CONW migrant. Went back with DSLR/telephoto rig and never saw it again (surprise). Also in the mix were 2 AMRE, 1 TEWA (juv), BGGN, fully juvenal BHCO (first in yard in many weeks) skulking around the underbrush, and 1 juv. RHWO. Fall migration is upon us, gents.
