1. Is puzzling, though it looks like an oriole. The head and wing pattern don't seem right for Hooded but I'm not sure what it fits.
2. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
3. Savannah Sparrow
4. Domestic ducks

1st is an oriole.....but can't match it with a native species. Looks a bit Troupial-ish....? Not sure which 'exotics' are roaming around LA

I think the first birds is a Venezuelan Troupial Icterus icterus. Caveat: I am identifying this solely out of a book (Ridgely and Tudor's Field Guide to the Songbirds of South America, 2009), as I have never been to South America. That species would be an escape in California.

The feral ducks look like they have muscovy genes?
