So many of you have written with names for the birds I posted on my blog yesterday. Here is what some of you had to say:

Meet Mr and Mrs of some species. Anyone know what these are?

“The two grey birds (photo 1) are apparently House Sparrows (once called English Sparrows).”  (Elaine McCroskey)

This angry looking fellow has a shiny teal-colored head and neck. What is he?

“The 2nd pic of black/teal bird  – is a magpie – we have lots of them and they eat all the bird feed and leave little for the wee ones.”  (Diane Plamondon)

“Photo 2 is a Brewers Blackbird.”  (Elaine McCroskey)

What’s black and white and red all over? Can anyone tell me?

“I read your email, and the little black, white bird with the red spot on his head is a Downy Woodpecker.   I get them at my feeders all the time.”  (Delores Warner)

I’m pretty sure this is a blue jay. Correct me if I’m wrong.

“Bird photo 3 is a Blue Jay.”  (Elaine McCroskey)*

*Note: I probably had the pictures arranged differently in my original post.

And then this morning we caught a new bird at the feeder:

This bird showed up on 4/28/15

“Well, this bird is a female redwing blackbird.   They love our wetlands across from my house.  We have lots of them, too.  The males’ stripe on the wings are bright red and underneath the wing.  The females are duller.  I love them.”  (Delores Warner)

Thank you, one and all, for your responses!  Whenever we move to new parts of the country I’m confronted with all kinds of new critters and species of birds, flowers and trees.  I like to know their names, so I appreciate your help!
