Sorry I was getting the Mocking and the Catbird's confused in regards to their range.
Coastal Hawk,thanks for the feed back!
RyanWarner, Thanks for the ID! I updated it to Brown headed Cowbird {Female}
Liam ,thanks for confirming!
This is my first sighting of a cowbird!!
Mockingbirds are pale gray with thin bills, long, usually upright tails, dark gray wings and white wingbars.
We have lots of mockingbirds in Northern California.i am surprised by the fact that Mockingbirds are way out of range!!
Ryan warner,this does seem to be a brown headed cowbird female.
True on the mandible and after looking at the picture on a bigger screen I agree it's not a mockingbird. If its way out of range I need to submit a complaint to IBird and Cornell's Ornithology lab.
After more research I think it's a Female Brown-Headed Cowbird. Based on its very plain plumage, mandible shape and overall size
Way out of range for a Mockingbird, mandible is also the wrong shape. Looks to be a female Grosbeak of some kind.
Lat: 36.70, Long: -118.76
