two I can't ID

[muc33]

Sorry no pics as they were too crafty for me.

1. small finch size bird. yellow head with a deep gold cheek. never seen before ever.

2. like a miniature oriole but deeper color, not bright orange more like a bronze or deep orange belly and such.

Sorry about the no pics.

some kind of warbler and maybe a redstart?

[Dotch]

Redstart sure matches the description on that last one. There was one here a couple days ago.

Muc take a look at a Evening Grosbeak and see if that is in the ballpark on the first.

[KrabbyPatties]

Couldn't be an Evening Grosbeak in Worthington. Cape May Warbler is possible.

boy that's pretty close, if anything the gold on the cheek of the bird I saw was a bit smaller and a define oval below the eye. And the other bird is not a redstart. Picture like a brown headed cowbird but put the brown on the belly and make it more of a bronze not a brown. It is at my oranges and jelly just like the orioles. Im puzzled.

orchard oriole on number 2?

[Dotch]

Hmmmm...now what you're describing sounds more like an orchard oriole. They're smaller than the Baltimore and generally where the Baltimore is orange, the orchard oriole is more of a chocolate brown. They're around and seem to be becoming more common than they once were.

Muc I'm quoting another pic from Goblue on this one as I think your second bird might be the same thing I had in my yard a couple weeks back:

Eastern Towhee

I was thinking orchard unyill I read miniature. :>) Must be an orchard. We had one here last year for a bit. Cool bird. You really need to get a camera. :>)
