We used to have an Audubon Bird Book, but it got destroyed at the hands of two handsome gentlemen that I love. I would love looking birds up to figure out what they were. Maybe we'll have to get another one.
Anyway, here are some of the pictures of our visitors -- our "Buds".
We call this one the "Brown Headed Black Bird". I know, we are SO creative :-)
I'm assuming this is a pigeon of sorts?
We have a lot of these little guys.
I like these guys. They look a little bit mean, though.
Anybody know what they are?

the dove is a "mourning dove"
the "we have a lot of these guys" is a female house sparrow.
"i like these guys but they look a little mean" those are brewer's blackbirds
the brown headed black birds are, well, brown headed cow birds (you were close.
i think that was all, right?
I told myself that the little ones were probably Chickadees, but also knew that I didn't hear them. I actually know what a Chickadee sounds like :-)
chickadees are black and white/gray, but with that same sort of eye-band. so, yea, if you grayscale that bird you're getting close. they don't have any pattern on their belly though (that is more like a white to gray gradient rather than any dappled) but you were on the right track! also, chickadees a little bit smaller and their "cool cool cool trick" (yo gabba gabba) is that they can hang upside down. or sideways. they are cool little birds.
The "pigeon" one is a Mourning Dove. We have a bunch of them around our house too.
