Re: Birds in the back yard
So....what are the black and white birds with the little bit of red on the front of the breast. Their head is black, and have a little white on the wings?

Sounds like you might be describing a rose breasted grosbeak.
In other news, I was happy to see the red headed woodpecker back!
