Thanks @The Bird Nuts. I'm still not really seeing it but I bow to your expertise. Thanks again.

School me please. It looks blue to me and the Common Yellowthroats around here are not blue. What identifiers lead you to that conclusion?

Yellow-breasted Chat

Any opinions on whether or not that was 2 different species of hawk flying together? I only got those 2 shots before they dropped below the ridgeline.

Blue Grosbeak

Cape May Warbler?

Brown thrasher

Maybe, maybe not. Is this a Red-tailed and a Broad winged?

finally stopped raining! The birds were happy too! Prairie Warbler, White-eyed Vireo, and Great Crested Flycatcher.

@Charlie Spencer They used to be regulars at my feeders, but then I didn't see them for a couple years. I was glad they decided to come back this year (my last one here because we're moving to Texas). They were out there first thing this morning too! Oh, and it's STILL raining here!!!

It's been raining non-stop all day here. so I've been watching all the soggy birds showing up for a snack. It was quite a nice surprise when these two beauties stopped by.....

Thanks @akandula

Taken this morning in a rainy, overcast Bowling Green, KY. Made for a terrible pic, but I've tried to clean it up a bit.

That was my first thought, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks Now to keep an eye out for him so I can get a better picture!

Not in my yard, but in my neighbors yard, Blue Grosbeak a week or so ago, and this morning down the road a bit, a Prairie Warbler and a Common yellowthroat. All 3 are first sightings for this year.

Okay. I've seen Red-tailed, Red-shouldered, Cooper's and Broad-winged Hawks with a 1/2 mile of my house here in Bowling Green, KY. This is the only picture I was able to get before he dropped below the tree line and went over the ridge this morning. This would be the first Broad-winged I've seen this year, if that's what it is, but my id skills have been pretty suspect lately...lol

edgar allen poe-ish....lol

well duh. Thanks Kevin.

This was taken a few days ago in Warren Co., KY. We're about an hour north of Nashville. So, barn swallows are back here and I could watch them zipping across the open fields all day. There were several perched on the power line, but when they all took off, this guy was still sitting there pondering life,

But he's not poopin' in tall cotton...🤣
