CLOSED: Rose-Breasted Grosbeak?

Wappingers Falls, NY

I've been sorting through some of my photos from last summer and I hoped someone would be able to confirm that these are rose-breasted grosbeaks? If so are they female and juveniles or all juveniles? Many thanks as always.

The picture is not clear enough for my old eyes but for comparison you might want to check out some of these pictures of the Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Click on the little thumbnail photo's to enlarge them: http://davesgarden.com/guides/birdfiles/go/127/

I was going to say Red-winged Blackbirds. We'll see.

I can't make out the ones on the right at all but from what I see of the one on the left it could indeed be an immature Red-winged Blackbird: http://davesgarden.com/guides/birdfiles/showimage/5132/

The two back ones look like Red-winged Blackbirds. Left one female right one juvenile male. The bird in the front looks like a juvenile Starling. Of course I am wrong a lot!

I would definitely go for Red-winged Blackbird.

Red-winged Blackbirds would make sense, we had a lot of males in the yard during them summer so seems logical there would be females and juveniles.

Thank you all.
