Red-winged Blackbird Bird ID:  Bird31 Blackthumb Bob says: Red-winged Blackbird photo taken spring 2000.

Rose-breasted Grosbeak Bird ID:  Bird32 Blackthumb Bob says: On an early spring day (2000), rainy and colder than previous days, I saw this bird (which I have identified as Rose-breasted Grosbeak) on a feeder. I set up the camera! The pictures are not very good, but I believe they validate the ID.... (These are the "good" ones -- should see the one's I discarded!) My guess is this bird was on its way north for the summer and stopped in for a pit-stop at the feeder.

Chipping Sparrow Bird ID:  Bird33 Blackthumb Bob says: Here is a nice picture of a little bird. I took this be a sparrow, but could not settle on which one. Leon Fisk (in rec.birds) suggests: [This] may be a Chipping Sparrow. Van (also from rec.birds) confirms: The sparrow is a chipping sparrow, by the white line over the bill, an immature one, I think.

American Crow Bird ID:  Bird34 Blackthumb Bob says: This pack of crows seemed to be attacking a Mockingbird nest (lower left corner of image). I counted at least four Mockingbirds in defense. I made a loud noise and scared the crows away.
