I took quite a few photos at a nearby state park over the summer. I found a remote area with several fields surrounded by woods and captured a number a birds. I just started going thru a pile of them and labeling them with the species name. I posted the ones here that i'm having trouble identifying for sure.
What do you make of these Paul, or anyone else? :)
This one i thought at first was a white-throated or white-crowned sparrow, now I'm thinking maybe a worm-eating warbler? These were taken in July, and not the greatest shots so maybe its too hard to tell:
31794
31795
This looks like a female house finch, I saw several in the area but no males. Taken also in July. However it has something funny hanging over its beak on its face, though kind of hard to tell in the pics:
31796
31797
Sorry these aren't any better, it was a thickly wooded area and many of them were hard to get close enough to. Its the kind of place where you need to spend alot of time sitting and waiting patiently, not to mention I'm wishing I had more than my current 300mm focal length. :p
