CLOSED: Gray Catbird? Mockingbird? Beats me. Does anyone know?

Anyone know what it is?

I've blow it up bigger. Give me a second.

First cropping.

2nd cropping

First bird is different to the other two; I'd say Brown-headed Cowbird for #1, and Mockingbird for #2-#3

Resin

Thanks Resin.

I'm going to enlarge #1 and see if it has a brown head.

I still can't tell. Do you still think it is the Brown-headed Cowbird?

I think all three are blue jays. The second two definitely are.

Still Brown-headed Cowbird for me for #1

Sorry, definitely not Blue Jays!

With respect to jec6, I didn't think any of them were Blue Jays. Coloration was wrong and I didn't ever see a tuft on top of the head.

I'm going to mark it CLOSED.

Thanks jec6 and Resin for your help.

That's what I get for checking on my blackberry screen while on vacation. I mistook the shadow along the shoulder breast area for the black V on a blue jay and couldn't make out color very well, so I assumed it was silhouetted. Agree on mockingbird for 2 and 3. Sorry, next time I'm on vacation I'll heed my wife's advice and stay off the internet.

Hi jec6, glad you replied. Sometimes, the wife does know best, huh?

I hope you had a pleasant vacation.
