Ahhhh. A Tufted Titmouse and a Carolina Chickadee!! These two birds are very often seen together, and although different species, there is some evidence that they may occasionally interbreed. ALSO, during migration, migrating Warblers ALWAYS follow Chickadees around, so to find Warblers we go to where the Chickadees are calling and there are the Warblers! I was out along a large creek Friday, and heard a Chickadee so hurried over and, YEP, there was a large flock of Warblers. These Warbler Focks are compromised of many kinds of Warblers, so you can have 5 or 10 DIFFERENT sub-species of Warblers. Here are some pictures I got in the flock Friday. This is a female American Redstart.

A Blue Jay. They have an amazing variety of weird sounds they make. They like whole peanuts, IN THE SHELL, placed on a platform feeder.

The Redstarts and other Warblers are pretty much gone now. They will start returning about mid-April. We have a few Warblers in Winter, most notably the Yellow-Rumped Warbler often call , "Butter Butts", due to the bright yellow patches on their tail and shoulders. I got my first "Butter Butt" last Winter on CHristmas Day in the Weeping
willow in front of my house, where 90% of all my bird photos are taken. You can't see the yellow undertail coverlets in THIS picture, but here is a picture of my Butter Butt.

They do like peanuts but also seem to like anything else we put out for them.
They start sqwaking early in the morning until we go out and feed them.

The one that looks like a Mockingbird could be a catbird.
That looks like a black capped chicadee how do you tell them from the CArolinas, I live in MI so we only have blacked capped. Hmm maybe its the buff color on the sides? Theres a bunch in the yard right now at the feeders but its raining or I would get a few shots!

my little chickadee. My youngest daughters name is Chaffinch. I think she should name a child, should she ever have one, Chickadee Chaffinch.

I look at Chaffinches all the time on live U.K. webcams at RSPB sites across England and Scotland.

Cardinals like a flat surface like the ground or a tabletop covered with sunflower
seeds .

This is a great thread, and a wonderful way for me to learn about American birds, I wish we had Cardinals in England, they are so colourful. The one like a Mockingbird looks a bit like a Northern Wheatear, but I don't think they go down as far as NC, but not sure.
