Every spring a pair of Northern Mockingbirds (Minus polyglottos) nest in my garden. From early spring until August the male sings through most of the night.
The Mockingbirds build a nest in the bougainvillea, in this mass of twigs and thorns.
On the opposite side of the garden, a pair of Mourning Doves (Zenaida macroura) have a nest.
They return every year to about the same place. By mid-August the nests are empty.
A flock (10? 12?) of House Finches (Carpodacus mexicanus) have been in my garden recently, foraging in the grass. I don't see them here often, they are just passing through.
