Taken in Galveston Co. Texas yesterday. I may double up on some unintentionally. Thanks in advance.

I need time to look through them all, but the first one is a black throated blue.

699, 571, 407 are Black-throated Blues.
543 is a Northern Parula
563 is a Hermit Thrush
346 is a Purple Martin
323 is a Summer Tanager
225 and 028 are Cape May Warblers
031 is a Bay-breasted Warbler.
I think 324 and 339 are Yellow Warblers

I agree with most of these, but I think the swallow is a Purple Martin and the Tanager a Summer.

[TheBillyPilgrim]

Agree with Purple Martin and Summer Tanager.

[PoorMatty]

I see . . .

1. Black-throated Blue
2. Black-throated Blue
3. Veery (too uniform red above with no contrast, plus blurry spotting, and a small amount of it
4. Northern Parula
5. Black-throated Blue
6. Purple Martin
7. Yellow Warbler
8. Yellow Warbler
9. Summer Tanager
10. Cape May
11. Bay-breasted
12. Cape May
13. Cape May - note the strong curve in the bill, the well-defined dark cheek, the white in the wing, etc. Plus there appears to be no rufous on the crown.

A nice assortment there.

You all are the best. It was the best birding day so far. I know there were birds that I didn't know the species on but didn't get a photo. How long will this last?

[BarnSwallow]

I've been birding for almost 40 years and I've NEVER had a day that good!

[Sparky the Cuttlefish]

Haha, that's what I get for changing my first guess on the last warbler. I concede on the swallow, I don't have much experience with either species.
