Short, pudgy, yellow-breasted....something?

I don't know what kind of bird it is, but I followed it around for a half hour before it settled down and let me take a few.

I'm not 100% positive, but I think it's a Yellow-headed Blackbird. Here's a link with a photo:

Thanks lindy. Apparently I'm forbidden to go on the link. It had a pretty song it made. Like a harmonizing buzz.
