Taken on a walk close to Lake Wichita. Got some nice shots of Least Sandpipers and Horned Grebes. About 25 Cedar Waxwings were jumping tree to tree. But here are some I'm not so sure of a warbler and two sparrows....working on sparrows but not there yet. Sorry about not putting the pix in the thread but haven't got that figured out yet either.

Thanks in advance

Warbler looks like an Orange-crowned, but I could almost see Palm. Funny, those aren't two I typically find easy to confuse with each other, but I think the light may be playing tricks on me here.

The first sparrow is Savannah and the second is Swamp.

Hi Matty,

It's an Orange-crowned Warbler, not a Palm. Agree with the other ID's.

Best,
Josh

Thanks guys. After your OCW ID I went to this site and found some nice identification tips...works with the borderline multiple photos I got of the bird.
