    Help?

    Attachment: IMG_1305 - 4.jpg

    Hi, I'm new. I just went out today with my camera and saw a couple things i'm not sure of. Some help would be appreciated.

    The first one is a really bad picture, but I have no idea what it is. It had a strip of black coming down from its throat, and on its head. And it had very bright white on its wings. It looks like some sort of finch, but I can't find it anywhere in my book.

    Looks like a Baltimore Oriole?

    The first step in any ID is to state where in the US the bird was seen, because it makes a difference. This looks like a male Bullock's Oriole, so I assume you are the west somewhere.
