The bottom one looks like a chickadee but the top ones I've never seen before. They look like barn sparrows that ran into some red paint.

Some dandy picture taking Les! :wink:
 
Yep Red Poll and Chickadee.. Empty pockets it does look like some one went along with a paintbrush and dabbed em all with paint..red polls are the same size as a chickadee
 
Thanks everyone..I dont think it is me Hanta Yo..I think it is the camera, or it has a lot to do with it anyways.I have taken I bet 4 thousand bird pics and have about maybe 50 keepers..I am thinkin maybe if I take enough of em I gotta get one or two that will turn out ok.
 
:) Nice pics Les,excellent in fact. You didn't take those today,poor little birdies hiding today
 
Thanks Nicky & mrs Greg
Your right mrs greg Didnt see no birds today till about 4:30 when the wind slowed down some.
 
Wow! Those are beautiful pix. You have a great eye for composition. Do you use a digital camera?
 
That is what I was going to say absolutely beautiful you are very talented.
What kind of camera is that ? The clarity is amazing.

I have turned into a kind of bird geek in the last couple of years, but for some reason there aren't too many different birds this year however I did hear the crows the other day does that mean that spring is around the corner. :)

My sister said that she saw geese flying south already. :???:

Thank you Mrs. Greg you are too kind; but with all due respect you can keep your magpies. We have already had enough problems with the vermin. :x

We have all those also but it seems that there was a wider variety last year.Or maybe I haven't been paying attention a much this year. :roll:


Anyways, great pics post more when you get a chance.
