Nice pics! Great that you get downy and hairy woodpeckers.

We had a chipping sparrow in the backyard yesterday.  We only get them rarely - last one was a year ago.  We've had a white crown hanging around for a few days.  We had a white throat for a few weeks, but haven't seen it recently.  Our regulars are house finches, goldfinches, mourning doves, RWBs, grackles, blue jays, cardinals, and robins.
