i like swainson's thrush, though i wish it looked a bit more spectacled and we could see more of the tail color.

LOL and what I thought was a Louisiana Water Thrush is a Northern Water Thrush. Rocco can confirm.

i definitely like northern waterthrush for both of those.

 

i'd also like to hear from plug and teaser on these, he's been sharpening his peepers for a couple years now :eek:

I agree with you on both these birds.

 

The Northern Waterthrush seems clear.

 

The Thrush seems to have the Buff color under the eye and enough of it over the eye to create a bit of the spectacle look.

As you say it could be more with a better blending into the eye-ring. Given the general assumed location with good numbers there now, seems a good bet without a tail photo or hearing the song. :th:

Can anyone identify these guys? Caught momma and her brood in lake next to our house.

Common Gallinule

Thank you. A big voice for such a relatively little bird. 

 

Little guys are cute, even when Mom is yelling at one of them.

Nice Mike. I had an Oriole stop by for just a few minutes on Saturday but left before I could get downstairs.

This is the only shot I have that shows more of the back.
