Various and need some ID help

Couple that turned out ok, and the last, well, I think I know what it is but I'd rather not influence. Time to go get another book, the sparrow section in my isn't that great. I appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance,
Ken

Wow, these are all great shots. I think the 2nd pic is a fox sparrow and the 4th is a song sparrow

Wonderful series Ken, all are great captures! I wish I could see these birds around my area. The last one is a Lincoln's Sparrow.

A very good set!

They look great to me, fantastic detail, I think the last is a song Sparrow too, very nice set, Well done!

Great images. I believe that your last bird is a Lincoln's Sparrow, thought juvenile Song Sparrows can look similar.They are in the same Genus so they are closely related.

I'd say Linclon's Sparrow because of the fine streaking on the chest and the buffy wash that extends about halfway down the chest. Also that buffy malar (sometimes calls submoustachial) stripe. That is the stripe that starts at the base of the bill and goes down and under the "cheek". On a Song Sparrow the streaking on the chest would be thicker and less crisp, and there would be a thicker, darker malar stripe.

Your first three ID's are spot on.

Thanks! 2 votes Song, 2 votes Lincoln (exactly where I was torn)

Lovely series!

I'm agreeing with Mark for all the reasons he gave (streaking and malar characteristics) and voting Lincoln's. It just has the right "gestalt" for a Lincoln's.

very nice series, Ken - well done

These are beautiful shots Ken

Grand shots, that thrasher is brilliant... and Brad is always correct... ... I believe the second bird is a thrush, more over a Hermit Thrush with the definite complete eye ring; can't see the tail, but I believe there is a tinge of a red line in the tail.

Thanks - pretty sure on the Hermit, but I'll check some other images again.
