Who am I?

I really need an ID book. I am thinking some form of wren, maybe?

another view, same bird

Okay, different one here, came in with grackles, but looks different.

The second bird is a Starling, the first is a sparrow of some kind.

First one- White Throated Sparrow

Thank you so much.

The last one #3 is a Starling.

The female black bird grackle looks very simular to a starling. We have the red wing black birds coming in flocks right now. I go out and flush them away but they come back immediately unless you manage to flush them out of the surrounding trees of your yard. Then they do come back but maybe not for some time later. I thought the females were starlings until I pulled out my birding book and looked it up.

Nice detail in those sparrow pictures Mary - you can really see its plummage well!

I got a few pictures of one at my house today too. (although I confuse a lot of the sparrows so I won't be surprised if mine turns aout to be something different lol) It was so sleety and yukky out so the pics are kind of dark looking.

Here is another angle

Your right, thats the white throated. One of my favorites, very cute little guys.

Mary you have to listen for them. They have such a beautiful call. Is really music to your ears
