I'm going to go ahead and start a new thread with this guy/gal. He came this a.m., and again at noon all by him/herself. He's sleek, feathers looks like soft brown suade, finch-like beak, goldfinch-sized, maybe a little larger, was eating nyjer. Reminded me of a pine sisken, but wrong color.
Another view. The legs are long.
Thanks for starting the new thread!
Looks like female Brown-headed Cowbird to me.
Resin
One more view Resin. I originally thought catbird because of the solid color, but he's solid toffee-brown, no black. cowbird. . . hmmm. Thanks.
Does look a little like a Catbird...here's one of mine.
Sorry, nope! - Catbird has a thin bill, not finch-like
Resin
Catbird again.
You must have super vision Resin.....thanks for beginning the new thread OP. Here is a new bird for me that Resin just identified as a Prairie Warbler.
Male Cardinal.
Indigo Bunting male.
Male Cardinal again.
cow . . . cat . . . . I agree with Resin. Thinner, longer body, finch beak. No meowing in my trees! I'll try to get another shot this evening. Last evening's visitors (I straightened the public baths with rocks!):
Painted Bunting male and female.
Collared Dove.
junco
This is almost like table-tennis....you serve one and I serve one....here's a Red-bellied Woodpecker.
You are welcome gp. titmouse
Still some Goldfinch around.
Wowzer! Great colors. They are so plain here. Just wait 'til the rosebreasted grosbeak lands this summer.
Looks closely! Three waxwings.
Closer-look at a Goldfinch. I have certainly enjoyed their stay this year. Last season I only saw a couple....this year I had dozens.
Any tips for making my photos larger when you click on them in the thread? Do I have to change something in the camera? Thanks. Your serve gp.
Love the Waxwings. Had them here over the winter but was never given the opportunity for decent pics. I have only seen a Rose-breasted Grosbeak once, and it was the duller female (sorry girls). Last pic for now, close-up of a Mockingbird.
What size are they, OP? I was wondering why yours were coming up smaller. I generally size mine to around 800X900.

Brave woodpecker at the suet today - chased away a couple starlings.
I'm guessing a female downy.

Second angle.
Thanks so much gp. I'll check into it.
A little hail isn't going to stop a Steller's Jay from pigging out.
Nice job! Thanks for starting the new thread OP!
Wonderful pics everyone!
It's a pleasure pelle.
I'm guessing a female downy
Some more American Goldfinch showed up.
Do you normally see alot of them adel?
A female bluebird. Males were too fast.
Thanks OP for the new thread. Enjoy your pics everyone.
Well they were back again today, pretty soon, they'll have eaten all the ones on the ground too. That's good, we won't have to rake them up. I'm letting the birds do the Spring cleaning, this year.
Too much of a mouthful.
A Dark-Eyed Junco doing it's part.
Nice Bluebird pic Mrs Ed!
burn, I love those Waxwings! Nice shots!
Song Sparrow pitching in to do his part, of the clean up.
BURN, OMG… is that bare ground I see????
Pelle thanks, I'm so glad they keep coming back. They're beautiful birds. Here another one.
