Gorush's #5 is an American goldfinch. #6 is a rose-breasted grosbeak.

And that is an indigo bunting in the other photo.

Thank you, I guess I haven’t seen the goldfinch that closeup before. We have them all the time, but I’ve forgotten that they are so bright yellow. Right now they are still olive colored here, and will return to the bright yellow closer to the spring.

I have seen a rose-breasted grosbeak one time, but couldn’t figure him out for quite a while. As you may have guessed, I’m a newcomer to birdwatching, but I have several feeders (8?) set up for viewing from my big picture window. We live at the edge of the woods and have a small creek several hundred feet away from our home, too, so we do see a decent variety.

I hope to see an indigo bunting sometime, but I must be in the wrong location. I’m still very new to Indiana, but am loving it here. The birds are helping me make the adjustment!
