The bird was hoping from creosote to creosote. The picture was taken near a body of water. Didn’t leave that the area. Stayed for about 30 minutes. Located at Indio mountain research station. Found at 1:00 pm on March 29, 2019
Long beak, small size, black and white coloration. Looks like one those birds that appears at saltwater beaches.
This was recorded with an Audiomoth and species identification was completed with BirdNET. The file was also uploated to the Merlin Bird ID app. I have the Canada: East Bird Pack loaded, which lists birds of eastern Canada west to Manitoba.
The Audiomoth was positioned near a freshwater marsh. It recorded from August 20 to August 26. The device was configured to record one minute every five minutes 24 hours a day. This was the only record of this species.
I have added three spectrograms: (1) the full one minute recording, (2) the image that corresponds to the WAV file and (3) an expanded view of several chirps.
Not sure , put vireo as place holder. Yellowish belly, smaller than a hour sparrow. Small narrow beak. Very cute!
I think the color is more consistent with eastern > western
Cottonwood grove. Two versions of recording presented here, one with amplification only, the other with high and low-pass filters, noise reduction, and amplification.

Very bad picture, sorry. Not much light because of smoke
