What a lovely variety!

I believe these are the birds in order:

  • White-Breasted nuthatch
  • Tufted Titmouse
  • House sparrow (I think?)
  • Cardinal
  • Downy Woodpecker (based on its size, and it looks like it has a little beak)

You, like me, probably get the Downy and Hairy woodpecker, which look pretty much identical except a few minor differences.

I think this is same woodpecker;

I definitely believe it, especially because I thought “it looks kinda young to me” in the previous photo and this one looks just as young!

The feathers are more messed up than I’m used to seeing, so I’m taking that to mean “juvenile molting” but I might be over-generalizing.

It’s so adorable!!
