All of these were taken in March in Texas. 1. This was in Hill Country early March..is this a juvenile Red Tail? Had faint banding on the tail when it flew, not solid red Posted Image

. The second and third picture were Central TX late March. Red Shouldered? If so Lifer! Posted Image

and

and the last two were also central TX late March. My first guess was Eastern Phoebe, but I've never seen such pronounced wing bars or yellow belly on our Massachusetts birds. Posted Image

and

. Thanks.

Thanks...I am slowly putting my life list together on a great program I bought that allows you to put your photos in as you log them. I am really curious to see what my numbers will be.
