Love it! Just in Wisconsin in late June and saw similar scenes a lot :)

Here in southwestern Montana the Lesser Goldfinches are very rare, though I have observed a migrating male at the feeders and baths in October 2023. We have flocks of up to 20 American Goldfinches at a time in winter though they also leave when they get there breeding plumage, and then start coming again in late July or Early August, though at sunflowers, not feeders. I don't discourage any birds and let House Sparrow, Collared Doves, Grackle, and Starlings come at their own free will. We've had the House Finches nest as well, though they only had their first brood at our feeders. Here is a clip of the molting male goldfinch.

@Teagan I, too, think it is a Northern Wheatear

Amazing sketch! Great detail and texture. I usually just use any available pencil and start sketching. I don't usually add color, just shading with the pencil.

I think it is a juvenile eagle. It has the right broad wings, plus it has body and beak shape correct, definitely not Osprey. I am almost confident it is an eagle.
-
I think eBird. It has every bird species, extinct and not. You can click the listen button and listen to the basic Songs/calls

Annabeth, I think they are Eurasian Tree Sparrows, which have an established in population on the Illinois/Indiana border up to Chicago. And James, I do not no much about the Eurasian Sparrows, though sometimes almost all birds leave feeders in late summer/early fall because there is much more wild, living food around. Than they come back during other times of the year. It happens to me every year.

I see it, though I do not know what it is. I don't think it is a catbird. To me it almost looks like a thrush or thrush related bird.
-
I definitely think it is a Muscovy.
-
@Lianna I am almost certain the top ones are loons, not grebes. I agree that the bottom is an goldeneye.

I've been to Hawaii though I don't think I saw a Nene. All I've seen are Canada and Cackling Geese, though I only have photos of Canada, by the way nice photo(s). I'm saying this to everyone who is adding geese photos. Here some photos of Canada Geese. There is 2 photos of geese

I usually put a large circle than a smaller circle for the pupil. Inside the pupil I put a small (Tiny) circle at the top of the pupil, which will be left blank, because it is sunlight or glare caught in the eye. The first large circle would be yellow for a grackle, brown for a sparrow. Obviously, the pupil would be black.

I think it is a fun challenge to photograph a bird flying. It also takes all of those, though you need to have the right shutter speed and position to get a good photo. Below is the results of not getting the right shutter speed. It is a Red Breasted Nuthatch.

My favorite camera is by far a small, Canon ELPH 330 HS, 10x optical zoom. It is very easy to set the shutter speed, and also has an additional 20x Digital zoom. I think photos are pretty sharp until you get 10x optoical and digital combined. it is also a good, zoom, point, and shoot camera.
