Some little birds

Spring is the sun, I said earlier. It's also the birds. The last week there have been a lot of the little ones around - sparrows, juncos, finches and even a chickadee!

And this is how junco pictures usually work... at least I think this is a junco!

And here's a goldfinch. I'm not sure if it's a male in winter plumage or a female, though.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but I'm guessing that's a male goldfinch beginning to come into color. The yellow seems too bright for a female.
