Several times over a couple days I saw this bird flying to a beam under my next door neighbors balcony. Eventually, in the late afternoon of 2023-06-30, it flew from the beam and perched in a tree where I was able to take a photo. A couple minutes later it flew back under the balcony, and I was able to take a photo of it sitting there. I wasn't able to see if it was nesting.
Given the color, I was originally thinking it was a goldfinch, but looking in my book, I realized the beak isn't right, and I guessed its more likely to be a warbler. I don't see very many warblers here in California, so I'm not familiar with them and I'm unsure about the ID.
