Hi!

These are bad pictures because I can\'t nor do I want to get closer to it. Not from. My garden but in the tree outside of my 3rd floor balcony.

Since the pictures get compressed when I upload them on here, I uploaded them on imgur..

Here is the picture of it with more of the tree in the bg (so size reference, Idk if you know what kind of tree that is and if that also helps).

I live in central/southern California (about 1.5 hours north from LA).
