First look at one of these...

Not much good, but taken in the rain from far away.

[paulnj]

That's a tough angle , but I'll go with summer tanager.

[paulnj]

I'm not too good at terns, but that has got to be a least tern.

Saw this little one when I was out today, got a few shots, nothing all that good though. Doesn't look like any that I've seen before, unless I just haven't been paying attention, which is a good possibility.

[paulnj]

That's a female oriole, baltimore oriole I do believe.

Took these about a week ago, the first one here I think is a field sparrow? Its the only pic i got of it:




Then I saw this one sitting on a branch for the longest time, some kind of thrush but not totally sure which one. I'm thinking maybe gray-cheeked thrush?:

[paulnj]

Yes that's a field sparrow and your thush looks greycheeked/bicknells to me. Call is how those two are best ID'd.

[Copy_Kot]

A yellow warbler?

[paulnj]

sweet sweet sweetity sweet is what they say to me........ and sure is a yellow warbler.

[Copy_Kot]

Thanks Paul, it's super cool seeing all the "new" birds around lately! I'm 99.9% sure this is a/an indigo bunting(?) Sorry about the bad pic.
