    Re: Bird Id Part 2.5

    I'm pretty new to this whole birding thing so I don't know anything about the changes in plumage yet. There are a couple more female cardinals on page 3 of this thread that will give you a little better look at them.

    Here a couple more. Not sure about the first one. I did try to look up the second one and the closest I could come was a Summer Tanager.

    My guess is downey woodpecker. In the second picture you can really see the woodpecker tail.

    My guesses are Northern mockingbird and House finch though the second one does appear to have a bit of a tanager beak in the picture it still says house finch to me.
