Well... the other large dark birds have been eliminated and he's alluded to them being immature birds, so Bald Eagles seems like a reasonable guess. It's interesting how snapping a single moment in the flight can create a somewhat atypical flight silhouette. They look very slender-winged for eagles.

Yep that is what they are immature baldies.

I guess I should sign my real name

Tree swallow.

Beautiful shot. Those water droplets are really nice, as well as the subject.

Hummingbird for sure!
I'll take a guess as to species... Rufous?

Here's a photo! Probably not even remotely a toughie for any of you folks, but my non-birding friends were surprised to learn the identity of this common little bird when they saw it in my album. At least it's a silhouette!

Yes a rufous hummer.
As for the next one.....this beginning birder doesn't know....Junco?

Do you mean my photo or AMDA's?

AMDA's was already identified as a tree swallow so yours.

It's a rock pigeon! Funny how we sometimes forget to look at them.
