Corey Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I'd say european starling and red-winged blackbird, but wait for an expert 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Yes, the first bird is a young European Starling but the second bird is a juvenile Brown-headed Cowbird (Red-winged Blackbirds have a more streaked overall and have longer bills).
