Three New Birds
This winter, there has been a new bird at our feeders. Thomas has been stalking him to get a photo. Today, when I was standing on the front porch trying to photograph another bird, he landed right next to me on the front porch feeder. He looks kind of like a nuthatch, but with a brown head.
We were cleaning house today, so there was lots of procrastination bird-watching out the windows and we noticed two other new birds.
This one has a red eye and tummy, and a black back with white dots. I have no clue what he was, but he was hanging out on the ground in the backyard.
Finally, this one was on our suet feeder in the front. He looks like a warbler, but not one the Yellow Rumped or Pine Warblers that we’ve seen before.
Any ideas on what these little guys are?
P.S. I’m trying out Adobe Lightroom with these shots rather than Picasa that I normally use.

I think #2 is a rufous-sided towhee. One of my favorite category of birds - ones with names that mimic the sounds they make. “Towhee, towhee!”
I just found #1 too - it is a Brown-Headed Nuthatch of course.
My guesses were like Kristen’s but I have no clue on the last one. Seems like I’ve seen it in my bird book, I’ll look. . .
Merry CHristmas!!
From my books, the bottom one looks closest to a Ruby-crowned kinglet. Dunno though.
Wow, everyone talking about the birds, and here I want to ask how you like Lightroom. I just installed a trial but haven’t used it yet.
