Bird Photos - March 17 2012

Last few days have been interesting, had our first Grackle of the season yesterday and today we had our first Robin. Lots of Dark Eyed Juncos have appeared recently. A group of House Finches have put in an appearance at our feeders the last few days. We haven't seen any since last fall. 
Today we spotted a Pileated Woodpecker and heard it call once. 
Saw what I thought might be a Brown Creeper on the far side of the river but after examining the photo I took can't figure out what it is. It kind of looks like a House Sparrow, but not quite. It is also exhibiting behavior more like a creeper and it is in the wrong kind of habitat. Picture is a very large crop so it is a little blurry. People at Whatbird identify it as a Brown Creeper. 
We also heard a Hawk screech but never saw it.
