Black Vulture

Lacking a good sense of smell, these smaller vultures soar higher than Turkey Vultures (who do have good sniffers) to keep an eye on where they're going and hopefully follow them to carcasses.

Brown-headed Cowbird

True Story: I spotted a bird walking weirdly through the grass here, and when I looked it up and saw it was a COWbird, it all made sense, because I swear it walks like a cow, not like a bird.

Scarlet Tanager

Although the males are super bright red, this is a tough bird to spot, as it likes to spend time high in the treetops. For me the easiest way to "spot" it is to recognize it's song.
