Current identified birds

For my first big photo dump, I want to post a photo for each bird I'm fairly certain I have currently identified in the yard. I will continue to post new birds I see, and pictures of these birds in the future, but here is a summary of all of the birds I have seen and identified in the last couple of weeks before starting this blog.

Here is a table of the birds with their latin names included.

Species	Scientific/Latin name
American Crow	Corvus brachyrhynchos
American Robin	Turdus migratorius
Blue Jay	Cyanocitta cristata
Brown-headed Cowbird	Molothrus ater
Chipping Sparrow	Spizella passerina
Eastern Towhee	Pipilo erythrophthalmus
House Finch	Haemorhous mexicanus
House Sparrow	Passer domesticus
Mourning Dove	Zenaida macroura
Northern Cardinal	Cardinalis cardinalis
Red-bellied Woodpecker	Melanerpes carolinus
Song Sparrow	Melospiza melodia
White-throated Sparrow	Zonotrichia albicollis

And here are the pictures:

The following pictures are identified species seen in the yard, but please do not get confused: they are not birds! Of course one of them is not aware of that when it comes to who should be using a bird feeder. I allow it.

Eastern Gray Squirrel

Eastern Cotton-tail

This is a female domestic house cat. Her name is Triscuit, and she loves exploring in the backyard, but is always supervised, so she does not disturb the other species found in this blog. She does, however, appreciate them.

Please let me know if you have any questions about these pictures or birds (not that I am an expert) or you think I have misidentified any.

Thanks!
