Fall migration stragglers in the backyard

As fall migration is well in progress, my (central NC) backyard is quiet except for a few stragglers still hanging around.
1. Bluejay - adult, juvenile.
2. Brown thrasher.

They hang on for the food and photos, Ronnie!
I suppose, but it does get cold in NC too (relatively speaking), so they better not plan to hibernate here!
The lawn supplies plenty of worms, and the holly trees berries. I don't have a "regular" bird feeder (yet), just one for the hummers, but that is now empty since they were no migration-stragglers!

Those bird species are old timers of the yard that fit your description well.
Many of us hoggers are old timers too. The phrase 'phenomenal beauties' is one I could get used to also! 😃

#2 is a Northern mockingbird, not a juvi Bluejay, as Jack has pointed out. Unlike some other social networks, most prominently Facebook (yes, I do flirt a bit with that devil 🙂), UHH allows only a limited time to edit your posts!

Thank you. Jack, for the feedback and the ID correction. I normally check with the trusted AI assistant, Google Lens (I just did after reading your post), for confirming IDs which I am not totally certain of. I think the blue tint on the Mockingbird fooled me, and the bluejays are quite acrive in the yard, so I was fooled.
I have photographed adults before, and they are gray.

Thank you, Jim. I agree too, per my retraction post.
