nice shot for #1, #2 looks kinda stretched online ... where were they taken so I know which guidebook to start with. Wouldn't do any good to look it up in Sibleys Birds of Western North America if they were taken in Florida.

from the trees in shot #2 I'd guess western NA, but would rather be sure first...

It looks like a Jay, and I think his name is Kevin.

Editted my first post and the second photo is no longer stretched anymore.
As I know now the bird is called Jay.
Photos were taken in The Netherlands we call this bird Gaai.
Thank you for reply
