Monday Mystery 072417: Trail Cam Pix
Since early May, I have had a motion-sensitive trail cam next to Stiles Thomas bird drip.
I have deleted thousands of images and kept a few, including a little surprise or two.
We can I.D. most of them. How about you? I'll post at least two a week so as no prolong the agony.
(I would have gotten a high-def trail cam but they cost three times as much.)

Nice ones. I’ll Swainson’s thrush for the top bird. Bottom bird is trickier–could be a Nashville or a young Magnolia–tough call w/out seeing the wingbars..

Top: A member of Herman’s Hermits or a Veery close relative. Ruth Ann SWAINSON for you opera buffs.
Bottom: Parched passerine who just sang at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville…or immature Prairie.
