Those are very nice. The second one is very colorful.
I am not sure what kind of bird it is but it looks good.

The second is an American Kestrel, don
The first one looks to me like a juvenile male Vermillion Flycatcher. I may be off though. Where are the photos from JJ?
as john said, the second one is an american kestrel.
Great Pictures by the way, the kestrels
I just googled "juvenile Vermillion Flaycatcher". It sure looks like it, if you have a picture of it in the front that would make it much easier to tell.
John.
yeah it would be way easier to tell from the front side. I don
I didn't think this little guy has a such long name[]

yeah, you caught me,Nick!, it's eye was at least 1 1/3 stop under exposed[:$]. this was the result after I selectively brightened the eye . it does look strange to me too.

well the name is just Vermillion Flycatcher, but it doesn't look like a normal one because it is still in its first year, and so it doesn't look like a normal adult male.
San Bernardino county, Southern California.
That pretty much confirms it then, seeing as Vermillion Flycatchers only range in the us is the south west.
Alright I wouldn't consider this my "best" bird shot. But I think this is a cool bird. A much more rarely seen and photographed one anyway. Took this photo yesterday morning.
