Still learning the names of birds in my area. Your input will help. Thank you in advance.

I think the first two are Junos and the last is a yellow finch. Not 100% on the second.
BTW you did an excellent job with that first one. Very nice.

Me too! Especially when they are in breeding plumage in the spring.

#3 is an American Goldfinch--very pretty birds; we have a yard full. Sometimes the young are not very skittish; some years ago one almost jumped from the feeder to my teenage son's finger. The bird let him get to within a foot or so of the feeder and he held his finger out almost touching him as you would do with a pet Parakeet. The bird then flew off. We also had one land on our boat in a storm; he found a little open storage cubby in the cockpit and stayed there for an hour or so. As we reached port he flew off. We have always assumed he was blown offshore and was exhausted; seeing as we were a couple of miles offshore "any port in a storm".
1 & 2 are what my mother used to call "LBJ's-- Little Brown (or black) Jobs (:<))

OK. I'll name the first one Myrtle, the second one Hank, and the third one Gordie. Sorry, couldn't resist...
The first two look like Juncos. The third one is a Goldfinch.
