New Year's Day Birds

Last year the first bird I saw was a crow. This year the day was chock full - and the very first one, too early for a decent photo, was a Carolina wren. The whole list in the order I saw them, with some photos below the list, though I didn't get a good picture (or even any) of all of them:
