IrisMarie,
I agree, goldfinches, either juveniles and not colored up yet (best bet) or all females (unlikely) the one with the red head looks like my lady gouldian finches. I posted a photo of some of them not all that long ago on the " pets as therapists" thread. It is possible one escaped an aviary and is now staying with the other finches. They are native to Australia, and not for cold weather. If the red headed one has a green back, and lavender or white breast, she most certainly is a gouldian. (it looks like a female, males are much more colorful, the breast would be a bright royal purple, and the head a brighter red)
We have deer... lots and lots of deer. I've heard of black bear near to us, but thankfully, not had the pleasure of meeting one. :wink:
I would like to try to take some photographs of the birds frequenting our feeders, especially now that there are so many obviously young ones. A family of tit mouses, (three juveniles)... cardinals, the juvenile cardinal was checking out the grape jelly we keep out for the cat birds. ( I guess he didn't get the memo) So cute, very inquisitive. We have gold finches, the small pretty fuzzy woodpeckers, nuthatches... After several changes to how suet is offered, no more starlings! yay. Even a robin family comes to the feeder. Not used to seeing that.
