Two birds trying to ID
Two birds trying to ID
Went for an evening walk tonight in Avon, CO and caught these two. I'm pretty sure one is a very young Robin. Haven't seen one this young before though and I'm surprised it's not more mature this late into summer. The other I'm guessing is a yellow warbler but it's not as yellow the other's I've seen so has me second guessing. Also, the tail seems way too short.

The first one is a juvenile/immature Townsend's Solitaire. Their juvenile feathers have a scaly, pinecone appearance.
Juveniles are hard to figure out; two and three are in that category for me. I'll pass for now and do a bit more research.

The second looks good for a juvenile Northern Yellow Warbler to me.
