Not the sharpest shots, but they should be good enough to help make an ID. My best guess is that this is an Eastern Phoebe. However, the amount, and brightness, of the white on the breast has me doubting this ID. The Audubon guide does not even mention a white breast, and the Stokes guide calls it "whitish." Any ideas? Thanks.

At first glance it seems this bird had just flown out of the nest. Just by the way its mouth has the chick like protrusion on the sides of the beak, and not to mention its feathers dont look mature at all. Having said that, I think its a juvenile Eastern Kingbird. Very nice pics!

Thanks. I believe that you nailed it. At least I had the "Eastern" part right. ;)

I'll go with eastern kingbird too.. There are similar flycatchers, so I always look for a small downward hook at the end of the beak, but it's hard to tell in your photos.

Despite that, they are great compositions :)
