It is tiny. It makes clicking noises. And I swear it's talking to me. We're in SoCal.

1. Looks like an...

Arctic Junco, we have those here in winter. I'm thinking it's something else because a Junco should be way north of me up here in Montana.

5. The clicking is all the sound I hear from it.

It came around the last couple of years. It's very tiny.
