Seeing many birds lately that I do not know (not that I know many). Wanted to share and maybe get some names. The birds I think are some type of finch were very jittery and would not give a clean pose.

Red Headed Woodpecker maybe

Please note that im not a heavy duty birder but the 1st one looks more like a Red bellied Woodpecker. They are fairly common in the Mid to Eastern parts of America.

Unless imature, the Red-headed Woodpecker does not have a white-black barred back.

I was not sure. He was very interested in checking the wood of every tree he came to. Thanks.

Had 4 of them flying about. Very usual, very hyper active. Will work on a better pic next time. Thanks for your information.
