Looks like this is a Black-Headed Grosbeak. Time to do some reading up on them, maybe we can keep them around for awhile. Thanks to all for your help.
Just this morning, I discovered what we think is an Oriole at our bird feeder along with a male cardinal. It looked like they were competing for the feeder. When the cardinal flew away, the Oriole fed for a few minutes then flew away. Then, a baby Oriole flew up to the feeder and the parent Oriole watched from a tree. We think that the baby Oriole was either an Orchard Oriole or a male Baltimore Oriole, but it's hard to tell. Please take a look at the pictures below and let us know what you think.
