Not sure what they all are, but I know the ones with the yellow on thier heads are dark eyed junkos.

The first and last ones are Juncos, but Oregon version. Second bird looks like a Fox Sparrow and not sure about the third one. Maybe a white throated sparrow?

Nice pics.

Mitch, I don't think that is a White-throated sparrow. They might have yellow above the eye, but I don't think they are yellow on the crown.

# 1 & #4 appear to be the Oregon sub-species of DE Junco. #3 is a Golden-crowned Sparrow,
I agree that #2 is probably a Fox Sparrow, the Sooty variety, but would like to see the back and tail. Nice pictures all.

What do you mean, we ARE controling them by limiting them to 2-4 birds a day....LOL if we let them loose they would be VERY fat cats...LOL they only go out to potty....and snack....
