Inspired by Karen at Rurality I've decided to photograph and identify the birds from around our yard. So, like any budding birder, I sat down last night to play with CSS and HTML in order to best display the growing pile of bird pictures. Priorities.

Instead I should be taking a trip to the bookstore to get a new bird book. Any recommendations? Hopefully something that identifies the little bird in the second photo. I've found a couple close ones but nothing with such a dinky little beak. I tried this interesting bird-by-attribute site but no luck.

Not to say I'm one hundred percent on the flycatcher's identity...

Please leave a comment if you can identify either of them.

UPDATE 4/17: Thanks for all of the comments and bird IDs! To answer the where & when question both of these were photographed in Lebanon, NH (mid-state on VT border) on April 12th, a few minutes apart. I've posted another shot of the kinglet, same bird, just different angle/lighting. I don't recall the first bird "wagging" its tail and it was more on the small side, while a Phoebe is listed as 7".
