My front yard looks like a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds lol

What a sweet little helper there! Thats right, start them out young. I just love all my feathered friends, can't ever have to many come to visit, huh?

Well those birds are not a goldfinch or chickadee, we've got both of them by the dozens around here right now so I know them well.

Here's my hummer feeders a couple of days ago:

ones an oriole of some kind

the others a warbler of some kind.

I need to brush up on my birds again.

The upper one really is a mystery - that's definitely an Oriole bill. I'd say Northern Oriole, but where is the dark chest patch. I'd say an immature one - but they usually don't have the eye stripe.

The bottom one could be a lot of things... hard to say without seeing the head and bill. If the bill is like the upper one, Scotts Oriole is a dead ringer and is found in Colorado.

Hmmm.... but the OP is in Colorado I believe and the NGS field guide doesn't show the range of the Blackburnian Warbler anywhere close to there - seems to be strictly a NE US and Canada bird, and then only for breeding. At least according to the field guide.

OK... new species.... "Wifezillian Oriole"

to which post are you referring to because when I type american goldfinch or black capped chickadee into google pictures of my birds pop up. If that is not what they are then what are they?

Oh, sorry - I was commenting about wifezilla's pics. I took a close look at yours and agree - black capped chickadee and goldfinch.

Oh okay...WooHoo I've never had a chickadee. I like him he's cute...
