House Wren singing. Lighting wasn't very good, but it was a cool encounter. Hand-held and windy so kind of shaky. Had to compress it.

Sounds like a Chipping Sparrow. I also heard a House Finch in there.
Yes, forgot to mention. There was a pair calling in a nearby tree.

I was never able to locate the bird making these chips. Suburban area in Schenectady county with grass and scattered trees. Chipping Sparrow or Dark-eyed Junco, maybe?

Yes, another robin photo. Thoughts appreciated. IMO, it's decent-ish, so four. The branch running through the bird is not good, and it's not super sharp. The tail is also probably too close to the edge of the frame, but I actually didn't do any cropping, that's how it was shot.

Barely squeezed in five checklists to try for the eBirder of the month challenge. This was a hectic day for me, woke up at 5:45 to get ready and drive to morning birding event, from there to martial arts practice, then chamber ensemble rehearsal. My first time birding on Big Day!

Highest species count I have on a checklist so far! Got four lifers and lots of FOYs. Finally got looks at an Ovenbird, which was previously a heard-only bird for me.

Since I barely got half the number of species I saw yesterday, today, here’s my list from yesterday. Pretty good day overall, I’ll upload some more photos shortly.
WOW!!

That was my first thought, but it didn't have a pointed head at all.
Primary projection is more reliable than head shape, since it is so subjective to how the bird fluffs up or flattens its feathers.

Looks good for Swainson's with the buffy eye ring.

Agreed. The primary projection is too long for Gray Flycatcher.

Eastern Kingbird. It doesn't have a contrasting black mask and it has a white tail tip.

I should think so! I haven't directly communicated with him before, only seen him once or twice. I should probably put that on my profile though.

Any day with a lifer is a pretty good day! Quite a good assortment of shorebirds for my shorebird-starved county (it's uncommon to find Killdeer here!). Got a couple FOY as well, bringing me up to 79.
The top birder in my county on eBird went to the same location for the shorebirds and his checklist comments said "Nice collection of shorebirds found by P. erythrophthalmus here yesterday!"!!
