Pic 1 is from Ohio in June of last year. Eastern Phoebe?

Pic 2 is from Minnesota in July of last year. My guess is a Loggerhead Shrike, but am really not sure.

The first bird does look like an Eastern Phoebe to me, but the second bird is actually a Yellow-rumped Warbler, I think.

I agree with Limpkin. Second is a "Myrtle" Yellow-rump, btw.

New Year's Resolutions:
Get my lifelist to 300 (currently 293)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 193 as of 5/12.

Thanks folks. I missed the markings in the field guide for the "myrtle". Makes total sense, I appreciated the help.
