This is your first image of a downy woodpecker or first time you've seen one?
BTW EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The east coast has had very bad migratory conditions for the last 4-5 days! TOMORROW the winds and climate will turn to GREAT conditions! Over the next 2-5 days here in NJ we will have a strong migratory push of raptors and neotropicals!
Be on the look out for warblers over the next week and a very strong possibility of a broudwing push. Broudwinged hawks migrate in huge groups from 10's to many hundreds in a group!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the poor detail. This is a 12x zoom - handheld.
2 species but probably not enough detail for the one in the marsh.
I don't know if these guys are flocked up, getting ready for migration, or just all finding good feed in this shrinking pond.
Well I think I 'm just about out of birds from May but here's one more.

"Ophelia" has swallowed up my front, so I will update the thread when a good front is coming AGAIN ;) Merrill Creek is getting a decent flight though !
As for your birds... 1st is a great crested flycatcher and the 3rd is a yellow warbler
THE SECOND IS A HARD ONE
It looks warbler like(wilson's, hooded), oriole like and somewhat female scarlet tanager like!
I will send that image to my cousin to see what he think, as I can't get past the oriole look with a wilson's warbler head color!
BTW..... What does "orlew" discribe in you image's name

The orle was short for Oriole the w was added when I renamed the picture after down sizing it for this site, short for web.

You have got that right! I have a few flocks of turkeys in the area...... 1 has to be 40+ birds(on duke's estate and the surrounding area)
BTW.... I seen 12 + kestrels and atleast one merlin today in some far fields in my area! too far for good images, so I just watched them with my binoculars
