Toad,Butterflies,& Flowers,oh my!

New unidentified birds

We have a couple of birds here,a pair,that tried to set up nesting today in a juniper bush at the garden already occupied by Mr.& Mrs.Cardinal & the robins were nearby so they were chased away.I have been hearing them in the woods but until now haven`t been able to spot them.This is a bad photo but I took it from inside as I was watching.It has yellow on it,but is much bigger than a finch & not as bright.Aleta can you tell by enlarging it,I can`t seem to email you photos anymore with this new printer.
Also,I take my camera everywhere when I`m in the yard,& as I was putting newspapers down,then topping them with mulch to do the no-till method in the vegetable garden,out tumbled this toad from deep within the mulch.Surprised the crap outa both of us!
