Ahhhh! The Red-Headed one is a female Northern Flicker, Yellow-Shafted Variety. They are Woodpeckers, but eat ants, so they feed on the ground.

Thorny, for a bird brain you're pretty smart.

Yep. That's a Brown-Headed Cowbird alright. Ya see, the reason they're called Brown-Headed Cowbirds is because they have these Brown Heads......

Thornius, do you think this is a female Scarlet Tanager? I just read where female Summer Tanagers have more orange yellow undersides.

Or is it something else entirely? This was the best I could come up with in Audobon's.

I think that may be a female Scarlet Tanager. I'm sorta week on the Tanagers. I don't see as many of those as I do some other birds. A couple of years ago I got a picture of a female Summer Tanager, but it's not very good.
