Help Me Identify These Birds

[Mayfly]

Ok..today I had a ton of different brids coming in the yard. I took some pictures but they are not that good. It was through the window and the digital zoom isn't the best. Anyways, take a look at these birds and if you have an idea of what they may be let me know.....Thanks!


Bird 1







Bird 2









Bird 3




Bird 4

[Don Stenseth]

#2 is a Dark eyed Junco. #3 appears to be a common sparrow and #4 looks like a Black Capped Chickadee. Unsure of #1

[Mayfly]

Bird 4 is a Black Capped Chickadee. I wonder if Bird 2 is the female??

And how about Bird 1. Is that the Downy Woodpecker?? Actually after further review I think it may be a White-breasted Nuthatch.

Still not sure about 2 or 3 though. 3 may be some type of sparrow?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I have been using both of these site for ID:

Didn;t see this before I posted

Looks like I was right on 4....Thanks!

Number 1 is a nuthatch.  The angle is wrong to tell which kind.  I have two different types hanging around the feeder.  One type has reddish color on the breast. 

[Fawkinnae]

I see a nuthatch, a junco and a chickadee. Not sure about the other one.

[kayaker]

I agree with Fawkinnae, #1- nuthatch, #2 darkeyed junco #4 Chickadee.
#3 is kind of blurry but looks like a song sparrow

[Woody]

Kayaker-you are correct about #3 being a sparrow.

Mayfly-you are correct the pictures aren't that good!  :ROTFLMAO:

[DaveO]

The last one forsure looks like a hoo-hoo bird

[Fawkinnae]

Uhh Mayfly. Bird number 3 looks like a picture of some dirt. Are you sure there's even a bird in there.
Nice picture there Ansel Adams.

Like I said the pictures were from far away and through a window......smart ass.....

Im pretty shure #4 is a hoo-hoo bird

Here's a couple I'd like to know what they are:

[JD]

I think the two on the top right are yellow finches.

[Woody]

Yeah, I forgot to mention the one in the feed opposite the Yellow Finches.  Sorry-but you are correct Leech Angler! :rock:

[JD]

The bottom one looks like Big Bird, but he needs a bath.

[Realtree]

Those yellow finches are cool looking birds. Is the one on the bottom a young crane or pelican? Looks familiar like some I have seen down on Pelican Lake in Albert Lea.

[Fawkinnae]

The tall guy is a bittern I think.

[Fawkinnae]

Rose breasted grosbeak with the finches. I believe.

[DIRTBALL2]

In the top picture, those are goldfinch's. They used to be our Minnesota State Bird before the looneys in the legislature decided the loon was a better choice. Hard to figure out what the other bird at the other feeder is. Rose breasted grosbeak is probably a good choice. I'm fairly sure the bird in the second picture is a lesser bittern. DIRTBALL2

Mayfly, I have a tip for you that I forgot to put in my previous post. The next time you want to take a picture through a window, hold your lens right up against the glass. You will get a much clearer picture because there will be no light reflecting from the surface of the glass to distort your photo. BTW, the bird in the first picture looks suspiciously like a common blue jay! :o DIRTBALL2
