Hi Folks,

Here are the birds that I need help for identification. I'm guessing the second one is a Kinglet, and the third one is a Golden-crowned sparrow.

Thanks--

Granville

The only one I would like to have extra arguments for is the flicker -- why is it not a Gilded?

I assumed it was taken near San Jose. In looking at it more closely, I see that the wing has red feathers, so it is a Northern (red-shafted form).

Many thanks for the identification. I'm curious how do you determine the first one is a California Towhee.
