Can anyone please identify these birds. They have been hanging around my backyard lately and I don't recall seeing them before.

The pictures are terrible and I know that. I am only looking for identification.

They look like House Finches. The male will have the reddish-orange face and breast and the hens will be plain gray-brown.

Thanks, wildwing. I have never seen that type of bird before. I figured the male would be the most dressed up of the two.

Not sure about the first, but it may be some sort of chickadee...the second appears to be female house finches, and the third appears to be a male and a female house finch...

Thanks for looking. I appreciate the information. I am not sure about the chickadee but the house finch goes along with other information I have received.

How about a Black Phoebe for the first bird? :-)

I have absolutely no idea so it could very well be a black phoebe. Thanks for looking.
