Oh boy, Spring has sprung in your neighborhood!  Those much maligned Starlings are really pretty when you capture them like you did in #1 :)

#3 looks like a Downy, but not sure what kind of woodpecker #2 is.

#4 looks like a house finch, or is it a purple?  I've never seen one, but thinking the intense red may indicate a purple here?

Got the Robin and Junco figured out, but what's the good looker in #5?  A Tufted Titmouse?

Great series, thanks for sharing and reminding me of the impending wonder of Spring.  So far we've had a couple sightings of Mtn Bluebirds and Sandhill Cranes, so we know the season is close upon us here :)

Thanks, Ken,
#3 is a Downy, #2 is a red-bellied woodpecker, #4 is a house finch, #5 is the tufted Titmouse.

Wonderful collection.  I only missed #2 - I'm not sure whether we have any around here.  At least I've never seen one.
