That's a lot of different birds for one area. Another thumbs-up for the second image.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. At the edge of this pasture near a tree line the weeds / wildflowers are still in full bloom and must be full of bugs. For the last week or so I've noticed the area full of a variety of birds about mid morning every day. I just sat in the car off the road & watched the activity.

Ron, I'm terrible with IDs but I think #1 is a Western Kingbird. #6 is another I'm not sure of, but maybe it's a Starling.

These are fabulous! Yes that first is a WK and the 6th is a Starling. You got great colors out of the Starling. All are very nice.
