Was being attacked by a crow on the ground. I chased off the crow and gave it some time to recover. I was very close to it and it has gray and dark bands on sides. Later, it climbed a tree and was no longer there an hour later. Paw appeared slightly injured.

A tree full of little cedar waxwings. I counted twelve birds total, but they were mixed in with some female red-winged blackbirds. The waxwings were making a faint buzzing sound.
1 individual, found in sunny weather, course streaks of brown and plump body indicated to me that it was a song sparrow. He appears to have a black band around his neck which would signify he is male and he was calling out nonstop, seemingly to attract a mate.
Weather: Sunny
Sex: Female
Field Marks: Struggled to distinguish this one because it also resembles a mule deer. Ultimately determined that it was a White-tailed Deer because of its shorter ears that are angled vertically compared to the larger outward facing ears of the mule deer.
Weather: Partly Cloudy
Sex: Likely a male, had a wider face and body than a lot of other raccoons I've seen around my home.
Field Marks: The gray fur and short rounded ears are prominent. The black mask across the face is also another notable characteristic.
