The Bird Nuts

Agreed, adult and juvenile Cooper's Hawks. Cooper's can be told apart from the very similar Sharp-shinned Hawk by the large, flat-topped, blocky head with small eyes toward the front, the thicker feet, the more elongated body, the light gray nape on the adults, and the thinner breast streaking on the juveniles.

I agree with Lesser due to the greener color and striped back.

It's a House Finch. Purple Finches are more of a reddish-pink color and they have reddish wingbars.

Male Common Mergansers.

Both are Chipping Sparrows.

That is indeed a Song Sparrow. I'm not sure if it has to due with age or nonbreeding plumage or what, but some can show a little buff color in the malar area like that. A Lincoln's would have a contrasting blue-gray supercilium and neck and thinner, crisper streaking on buffy flanks and breast.

Agree with Pine.

Hard to tell, but I vote Cooper's due to the flat-topped head with the eyes toward the front, and the relatively clean and thin streaking on the breast.

Vireos make similar nests.

That is an adult Sharp-shinned Hawk with the small, rounded head, large eyes, extensive dark cap (goes over eyes and onto nape area), thin toes, and broad-shouldered appearance. EDIT: I was too slow!

That is a male House Sparrow. Note the large, rounded bill, the black bib and mask, the gray crown, and the unstreaked underparts. The House Sparrow is a non-native and invasive species in the U.S. and is not related to our "New World" sparrows.

Red-shouldered is correct!

Charlie Spencer is correct, you saw Cedar Waxwings. Birds (and anything else!) can look much different in different lighting.

I think I got 15 or 16...didn't keep track very well.

Looks like a Peregrine Falcon.
