House Finch? Massachusetts USA (1 Viewer)

Seeing as I'm doing so lousy today, are these all house finches?

The second one is a female sparrow I think, but don't know which without looking in a book.

No. All Red-winged Blackbirds.










Sorry, I couldn't resist it. Yep, all House Finch, except for 2 which may be Chipping Sparrow, but im not 100% sure..

I'm pretty sure 2 is an immature chipping sparrow.

Could the second one, with its eyestripe, not be juvenile white crowned sparrow? I don't know where these were taken of course so that might help.

Looking at pictures I agree!!

The eyestripe runs across the lores which rules out any of the Zonotrichia sparrows, I think.

I like to get things wrong early on, so all the experts can chide me with my idiocy (in a nice way of course). Thanks Chris for giving me at least an insight into what it feels like to be right for once.
