The first is a Common Yellowthroat, and the second is some kind of thrush |

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!

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!, |

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! |

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. |

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! |

Yes, I can see now where it could be a Gray-cheeked! Thanks again...I get so confused! |

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! |

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! |
