The 'tree of plenty' (see http://hileybirding.blogspot.com/2011/04/tree-of-plenty-los-sabinos.html) is a Silk Oak Grevillea robusta and has been rightly described as a 'bird-watchers delight'. Certainly, the list of birds that I have seen in one specimen in Los Sabinos has been pretty impressive..
This tiny Nashville Warbler part of a list that includes various Thrushes, Orioles, Tanagers, Woodpeckers, Buntings and Hummingbirds.
Meanwhile, a male Abeille's Oriole, a regular garden visitor has become somewhat of a pest. He has started tapping the window for hours on end. In the olden days, this was taken as a bad sign...it was thought that this behaviour preceded the imminent death of someone in the household.
It is more likely, though, that this fella is seeing a reflection in our window and 'attacking' it in a show of territoriality.
