[birdky] McConnell Springs Report

I spent a few hours at McConnell Springs this morning and it looks like things 
are starting to pickup.  I started the morning spotting a bright red Scarlet 
Tanager.  This is the first time I have ever seen one of these.  I tried to get 
a photo but he was too fast.  These are definitely brilliant birds.  Another 
interesting sighting was a pair of Red-bellied woodpeckers that were protecting 
their nest from a starling.  I am not sure what the starling wanted but they 
were going at it for awhile.  Here is the only picture that I got of this 
action...

I also got some pretty good shots of the Red-bellied's...

I also saw / heard...

House Wren
Lots of Goldfinches
Black and White Warbler - I believe
Female Baltimore Oriole - I believe


Finally, I saw these two birds which I can't 100% ID.  If you can ID these 
birds, please let me know...
