Nice series, paulneg.

Welcome to CR.

I agree with Click - nice series but I have to disagree for the last shot!
Not with Click but wit you: The Crested Lark may have sometimes and somehow damaged crest but look at the tail - you will see the outer feathers are white. For me its a Skylark - Alauda arvensis. For all Larks of that region (incl. North Africa and the Middle East) only the Skylark has white outer feathers on the tail.

ISv, thanks for correcting my misidentification. I'll edit the original entry right now. And my mistake was even easier to spot on other photos that I just disregarded as the photos were not sharp enough around bird's eye. But, there is a hawk eye on this forum
Best regards!

Not sure if this is a Nashville Warbler or an Orange-crowned.

Not sure if this is a Nashville Warbler or an Orange-crowned. View attachment 207181

The broken eye ring on the bill side says Orange-crowned but I'm not sure too.

Skylarks in fly! Nice photo!

Prairie warbler , I guess she will make the rare bird list.

Temps hit 60 degrees F yesterday in the midwest USA--following images within thirty yards of my front door:

Northern Mockingbird



House Finches


Northern Cardinal


Carolina Wren


Dark-Eyed Junco

=====

Kind of amazing (to me, at least...) how changes in weather bring the birds...new and different birds.

In the middle of summer, pretty much nothing but American Robins and Northern Cardinals nearby.

But an abnormally warm day in the second week of January offers nice chances to seeing a variety of birds.

But NO robins?!
