During one of our quotidian rides to the bakery and coffee shop, these noisy birds caught my attention. So did their silhouette. Subscription prices and advertising income are a bit low for this blog, so I can't keep a paid birder on staff. If anybody has a guesses about what kind of birds they are, please speak up.
The garrulity of birds is always fun to capture "on film". It makes them look more sentient and intelligent. It's also satisfying to use the camera to invoke the feel of other senses, such as sound in this case.

Here in the urban southwest they have become garbage birds and a local outside dining area cannot keep sugar packets on the tables because of them. Kind of fun to watch when they do get one left on a table. They do know the different color of packets and prefer the white with real sugar and abstain the blue sugar substitute.

The net is a good resource if you are interested. The site listed above is good for birds and http://bugguide.net/node/view/15740 works for the crawly things.
Ounce for ounce the Verdin is the noisy bird I know. For their size they do vocalize.
