Hi all. I went out to a pond near Flagstaff, Arizona yesterday morning. The sunflowers were blooming and I saw a lot of birds.
1) This one was clinging to some of the sunflowers. A Brewer's Sparrow?
2) This one was hanging out in the cat-tails near the water.
3) I spotted this one running through the reeds. I only got a quick look at it, and it ran off. Is it a Sora?
4) There were a few of these hanging out in the sunflowers. Is it a lesser goldfinch?
5) This one was also in the sunflowers, but I saw it earlier than the one above. It looks like the same species as 4, but 4 looks yellowish while I don't see as much yellow here, but maybe that's just me. Is it also a Lesser Goldfinch?
Thanks!
