Anne, your first one sounds like it could be a Black-headed Grosbeak. -Rolan

I need help in ID of two birds:

1. First time seen. Migrating? Approx. size of a Goldfinch, maybe a bit larger; buff colored breast; light brown rest of body; black and white stripped head (top middle stripe white, then a black one and then a white one above eyes; beak? It didn't stay long enough for me to see.

2. This one has been around all year but never stays in one place long enough to see any details. It "appears" mostly dark brown and very much like a larger sized wren. Size: larger than Junco but smaller than Rufus Sided Towhee.

Thank you.
