| plantladylin East Central, FL Zone 9a May 11, 2008 | Maybe a young goldfinch? [HYPERLINK@images.google.com] |
| plantladylin East Central, FL Zone 9a May 11, 2008 | Bird #2 reminds me of a Brown Thrasher: [HYPERLINK@images.google.com] |
| claypa West Pottsgrove, PA Zone 6b May 11, 2008 | The first is a Common Yellowthroat, and the second is some kind of thrush |
| plantladylin East Central, FL Zone 9a May 11, 2008 | Oh, you are so good! Here are some images of the common yellowthroat: [HYPERLINK@images.google.com] A beautiful bird I have never heard of before! and the Thrush: [HYPERLINK@images.google.com] I am loving this forum ... learning so much from some of you! I just take wild guesses when I'm trying to figure out what kind of birds they are! |
| dellrose Conway, MO Zone 5b May 11, 2008 | Thanks Plantladylin and Claypa! After rechecking my book I believe the first is a Common Yellowthroat. Still unsure what kind of Thrush the second is but it really looks like a Veery...but I'm too clueless to be positive! Thanks again!, |
| plantladylin East Central, FL Zone 9a May 11, 2008 | I just went back and read a bit about the yellowthroat. Am surprised to see the map shows they are found year round in the south including all of florida! I have never seen one or heard of this bird before. I'm learning so much! Can't wait for Admin. to get a Bird Files set up! |
| plantladylin East Central, FL Zone 9a May 11, 2008 | Found this on the Veery Thrush: [HYPERLINK@www.avianweb.com] |
| claypa West Pottsgrove, PA Zone 6b May 11, 2008 | Veery ( a thrush) is a possibility, I'd guess Grey-cheeked Thrush. I rely on calls for thrushes. Great shots, these are hard to see, let alone photograph. |
| dellrose Conway, MO Zone 5b May 11, 2008 | I was sitting in our little wooded area just waiting for some "new" birds and this little fella showed up! What a rush to see a new bird! Thanks for your help! |
| dellrose Conway, MO Zone 5b May 11, 2008 | Here is a better pic although a bit dark!
|
| dellrose Conway, MO Zone 5b May 11, 2008 | Yes, I can see now where it could be a Gray-cheeked! Thanks again...I get so confused! |
| plantladylin East Central, FL Zone 9a May 11, 2008 | Here's photo's of the gray-cheeked thrush for comparison: [HYPERLINK@images.google.com] They are great photo's! I can never get pictures of birds, even bad pic's. I agree that those are really great shots! |
| Resin Northumberland (UK) Zone 9a May 11, 2008 | Ditto to Yellowthroat and Gray-cheeked Thrush Resin |
| dellrose Conway, MO Zone 5b May 11, 2008 | Thank you Plantlady, claypa and Resin! I do appreciate all your help! |
| plantladylin East Central, FL Zone 9a May 11, 2008 | LOL, I'm not much help at identification ... the Thanks go to Claypa and Resin! |
| dellrose Conway, MO Zone 5b May 11, 2008 | You were a great help...those links you provided were most helpful! They even provided the sound so I can go back and try and find them again! |
