Re: Confirmations Please

I would call the Thrush a Veery. It doesn't look quite textbook, with those lighter spots on its back and wing coverts, but the overall color is a redish brown, there isn't an eye ring to speak of, and the breast spotting appears light. Maybe it's a juv?

Re: Confirmations Please

I agree, a chestnut-sided warbler and a juvenile veery.
