Re: [cobirds] Bird ID help request

Thanks for all of the replies on my bird ID question. The results were:

Bird #1   5 people thought it was an orchard oriole, 2 a goldfinch and 1 a female western tanager. Another picture that I did not post shows the wing stripes of the oriole so I think this ID is correct.

Bird #2   Everyone agreed it is a pine siskin

Bird #3   Everyone (except me initially!) agreed it was a rufous hummingbird, probably juvenile. After a little more research I also agree with this ID

Thanks for all of the responses!

  I saw three birds in my backyard that I am not confident of my IDs on and would appreciate a little help on.

#1  I think this is a female orchard oriole:

#2 I think this is a pine siskin due to the small amount of yellow in the wing bar. These are usually more of a winter bird for me.         

ad #3 I think this is a juvenile broad-tailed hummingbird

Thanks
