Linked below are two pretty clear photos of a bird that I photographed
in May 1911 in SW Oregon. I doubt it is in anyway significant but this
bird in the entire time i watched it (about 1 minute) had it's beak
open. I have other photos but don't think there are any other ID
markings shown on them that are not shown here.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Sez "Private". I was hoping to see pictures from when my father was born.

Picture looks more 2011 that 1911. Dunno what the bird is, but if I had
to guess, I'd guess female Meadowlark.

Now I know what you were talking about your father. Don't know how I
did that. Getting old (er). :-)

A meadowlark? That would be the first I've seen them on our place. I
love their song and hope it comes back with others.

I'll be watching to see if others think that also,

Thanks for responses.

Been a lot of that going around lately.

For twenty plus years we lived in a tract that was surrounded by farm
land and undeveloped land (one of the four sides of our property
adjoined the latter--the farmer that owned it ran feed cattle on it the
first years that we lived there.

We could hear Meadowlarks from our place and we could see them on the
roads in and out through the farm land (every sign had a male singing on
it it seemed in the spring).

Once, in all that whole time I saw one on our feeding platform and maybe
twice more flying across the back yard.

Me too. I'm pretty notorious for being wrong.

They look a bit like white throated sparrow, what with the yellow dot on
the front of the head. However, they are too black and white for me to
call them that.

Something more along the lines of a black-throated grey warbler, I'm
pretty certain.

Yes, that looks like a female black-throated grey warbler after
looking at the guide after you suggested it. I say female because of
the white throat. do you agree?

Thanks for looking and ID.

Most likely, though I don't see those too often in this part of Oregon.
The female certainly has a white throat in the book I have dug up.
