We live in SE Alaska and have 3 birds that I can not find anywhere to identify. We just got back online and found this site. Would appreciate any help with the 2 I have photos of. Thanks...S

You are all so right. Now that I had a name I found and compared to the rest of my photos. Wouldn't you know, it was on the 2nd to last page of my book. Maybe I was getting tired by page 454..lol
