I was working on the current banding in Missouri thread and it has taken off into the wild blue yonder! I had a "too large" photo of a Black-and-white Warbler in the opening post. When I deleted it, the whole thread went. "Live and Learn"

I had put two separate bird photos in the thread. The first was of a Black and White Warbler and the second was a Lincoln's Sparrow. I will put the resized photos in this thread as well as a third bird we netted to test your identification skills.

Lincoln's Sparrow

Here is the photo of the Lincoln's Sparrow which "flew the coop" when the thread "went bye-bye".

I'll go for Swainson's Thrush,Larry,although I thought your Lincoln's was an ovenbird earlier!
The bill didn't look right for me,but Michael got it as usual!

Photos of a couple more banded in Missouri

A couple of weeks ago we banded these two birds. The one on the left is larger than the one on the right. I "stitched" two photos together to get the two on one "post". See if you can ID these two birds.

I'll go for Hermit Thrush for the first one, and for the second two, Yellow-breasted Chat (left) and Yellow Warbler (right)

The thrush is a Swainson's Thrush. Note especially the buffy area around the fore neck.

Michael, you were right on for the Yellow-breasted Chat and the Yellow Warbler (male).

We netted the Swainson's Thrush a couple of weeks ago. A couple of days ago we netted/banded a Hermit Thrush, but had no available camera.

We have terminated our bird banding for the season. The temperature has been in the 20's and 30's degrees F and that is a little to cold to work effectively. When there is dew/moisture on the mist nets they tend to stay frozen for quite some time.
