Not likely to be a county-first record, assuming you have some wetlands there. Still, a damn fine sighting!
Seen them lots at Squaw Creek as that is their typical habitat. Seeing them anywhere in other habitat is cool. They might move with other blackbirds in migration...

Picture verification in this case isn't necessary since Yellow-headed blackbirds are expected in your region at this time of year, and the male's plumage is unmistakable from other species....

That's a damn good thing Duardo...for a minute I thought it was going to be officially recorded as an unconfirmed sighting
