This Brown-headed Cowbird was very tame and let me take a good picture of it (the one below). It was eating out of my wood hopper feeder, but made a big mess underneath
of seed. As it threw the seed it didn't want on the ground but also knocked some of its preferred seed. It later realised this and ate it.
If you look carefully, you will see that its beak is slightly wavy and crocked. It has that because it is a seed-eater. Also it has black incrediscence body with a dark brown head. Pointy wings, long tail and scaly feet.
Here is two Brown-headed Cowbirds, a House Sparrow and a White-throated Sparrow. They were eating the seed I put out for them.
Jesse my little brother wanted me to take a picture of him on the trampoline and I got a fairly good picture of him jumping on the trampoline.

Here is a Common Grackle looking mysteriously at me. It was just about to eat out of the wood hopper feeder. I wonder why the birds prefer the wood hopper feeder than the plastic one?
Here, also is a Common Grackle but it is bathing in our pond.
I would like to know if this is a House Finch or a Purple Finch. Can mon@rch tell me please?

Hello, all blogger readers. I am sorry that my blog did not turn out very well. We will try to fix it when we have time.
Bye,
birdman
you must have fixed it, looks like everything is fine to me! Great post here Birdman and you are becoming a great bird photographer! Keep up the great work!
Good picture of the cowbird! I have not seen a feeder like the one you are using. Do the squirrels get into it? What kind of feed do you use in the summer? I have a number of white-throated and white-crowned sparrows, but they are ground feeders. I think you have a house finch, but it does look quite rosy.
BTW- I used to run into text layout problems. Now I post all my pictures on Blogger as medium or large and "centre". If you post them to the left or right, the words will go down the side and it is hard to fix.
Hello,
mon@rch-Thanks, the very last picture I took at the bottom, Was it a House Finch or Purple Finch?
body soul and spirit-The squirrels get into it but I let them acess it so they will not destroy it. I use a mix blend in the summer. At a first glance I thought is was a House Finch but when I downloaded it on the computer it looked like a Purple Finch. OK, from know on I will put the pictures in the center.
Hello, all blogger readers
I think that bird is a interbreed of a House Finch and a Purple Finch. Do you think so?
I'm impressed with your photos-especially the cowbird.
-keep up the good work-I run in to all kinds of blog challenges.-not to worry
