Must be something related to a moorhen...

Edit: Got it: a sora.

You have captured a Sora Porzana carolina............ Great shot with an unusail angle.

How'd you do that so fast?

The second one is definitely a flycatcher, but I am not sure which type because the coloring looks a bit strange. Being so black I am leaning toward whatever type of phoebe you guys have out west.

Thanks Stephen. It looks to me like an eastern phoebe.

Thanks Pyry. I went out looking for this thrush that was spotted at the local wetlands, and I wound up getting these guys, along with an egret. I must say, I do like that phoebe Appreciate your help and comment.
