This last picture I am not sure if it is the same bird or not, but it appears to look the same, and taken around the same time as the others.

What I have learned so far.... just because you think that bird is just another _____ (house sparrow, chickadee, crow or whatever you are used to seeing) look a little closer... you just might be surprised!

The first 3 pictures look like Great Crested Flycatcher...
I don't think the last picture is the same bird. Can't help with the id of that one.

Is the last picture a Great Crested?? Looks so different than the others? It's a new bird for me only having seen one about 2 weeks ago.

Thank you so much! I think I might have entered bill info wrong on the whatbird search because the only thing even close (shape wise) that came up was a kingfisher....and that wasn't even close. So I appreciate the help!
