Taken by my cheap, old digital camera on Sunday during the bird counts
Purple Finch - distinction from house finch is the bars on the chest of females and the red on the back of males with the notched tail.
Male Downey Woodpecker
Some sort of Sparrow - I want to say it is a chipping sparrow, but there is not enough info for me to say it definitely so (had a bunch of these)
Probly American Tree Sparrow actually, unless you normally get Chippers all winter (most of us up this far north don't). But they look alot like the Tree Sparrows at a glance.

Maybe they are tree sparrows. We do have a few chipping sparrows that overwinter, but they aren't really that common.
