Correction!

How fun to know other bird watchers! As my friend Arielle has noted, those orange birds I was so excited about and thought were Bullock's Orioles, are really Black-headed Grosbeaks. I looked them up and indeed, they look very much like the orioles, but have a short, fat beak instead of a long, thin one. No wonder the female was sitting at the sunflower feeder cracking and eating the seeds without the use of a branch or other hard surface! The top bird was indeed a female Black-headed Grosbeak, and the bottom one a male.
