Great catch trois! Good for the Mourning Dave!

Glad he was able to stand his ground against the House Sparrow!

Not surprising, with its size advantage!

That's a Chipping Sparrow on the warpath.

Terrific capture of such beautiful birds!

Yes, thats not the one that tried to take over; is it?

The House Sparrows have the grey skullcap.

pelletory; thanks for the link, just what I needed. I just captured this woodpecker out side the window. Only known the bird as "Tomato-head" woodpecker....what's it official name? Can you help I.D?

Ahhh could it be the pileated woodpecker? I looked it up and the discription fits! Thanks.

There are so many English sparrows that I just assumed this was another. I should have looked a little more closely.

Hi Lily, It looks like it might be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

Heres a link to them; see what you think.

They have that black V neck that I think I see in your pic.

If you see other birds in the future you would like to be indentified, we have another thread just for that. Have a good day and please stop in as often as you like. :-)
