Dusky Grouse (Dendragapus obscurus). Came across this beautiful bird as I was walking to my field site one morning. I dropped everything and "stalked" it for a while until it flew up to a tree and I lost sight of it.
Broad-tailed Hummingbird (Selasphorus platycercus) - these birds are almost everywhere at RMBL. Some even visited the Ipomopsis plants by the lab's windowsill when the window was open.
Wren (Family Troglodytidae). Not sure what species it is.
Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides)
Female bluebird. Another species that is fairly easy to spot at RMBL.

Red-naped Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus nuchalis) - lifer!
I am always less confident in identifying species (even if I know them well in familiar places) when I am in a new area, but this looks like a Hairy Woodpecker (Picoides villosus) to me.
Unknown Flycatcher (Empidonax sp.)

White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys)
Western Tanager (Piranga ludoviciana). Saw this bird a couple of times in the field, but this was the only decent shot I got.
