[TN-Bird] New yard birds

Last night around 7pm, I noticed a sparrow with a lot of white on its head, but 
still thought it was a White-Throated since they have been fairly common, but I 
grabbed the binoculars and got a really good look at a beautiful male 
White-Crowned Sparrow.
 
This morning while on Cowbird-watch duty over my feeders, I looked out and 
noticed a rather large-looking female purple finch, which I thought might be a 
Rose-Breasted Grosbeak.  When it flew to our Redbud, I noticed a male 
Towhee-looking bird near the top, and was now suspicious.  When it turned, I 
saw the chest and had my first yard Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks.  The male flew to 
another feeder for a moment, giving us good ID looks.  Two in 2 days is pretty 
good for our yard.
