My vote is Sage Thrasher. Common in Eastern Oregon. On the 2nd view you can see a hint of orange on the vent/belly area.
Thanks bajadreamer, I think you have it. I have not heard about this bird before. It is always fun to learn something new. I listened to the song and have heard it before in the spring but did not know what bird it belonged to. Now I do!

I can't pin down the thrush either. The strong spots remind me of a wood thrush but they are an eastern species not normally found in the west, but there are isolated sightings.
When I tried to ID the thrush, I thought it looked like a wood thrush as well. It does not seem to resemble any thrush commonly found in Oregon. That is unless it is a juvenile. This shot was taken in very open sage country.

I can't help with IDs but these are certainly sharp shots. Very nice.

I think you are right about the duck ......the second looks like a thrush to me - not sure which one though.
Nice work.
Nice work.
Thanks imagemeister. You are right, it does look like a thrush.

The first one is a duck I captured in Central Oregon. My best guess is a juvenile Ring-Necked duck.
The second bird was shot in Eastern Oregon. It looks somewhat like a juvenile Western Meadow Lark to me but I was hoping for some clarification from those who know birds better than I.

Very nicely done, wonderful work.
Any camera settings and focus on data for those of us who got lesser quality results.
How far away was the silhouetted tower?
Thanks for sharing and keep up the stellar work.

The forecast was for clouds and rain on last Sunday and Monday so I took my best shot Saturday with an almost super full moon. My wife and I were staying at a remote hot springs in eastern Oregon for the weekend. There were a few clouds but thankfully it was mostly clear.
All shots were taken with a D7100 and Tamron 70-300. The shots were all hand help. I have learned that even with image stabilization I get sharper pictures by staying at or above 1/500. All but the last shot the camera was set on manual at 1/500 and auto-iso. The last shot was full manual mode.
The tower was about 200 feet in front of me. I used autofocus (back button focus) using the horizon to focus for the moon and set metering to spot to expose for the moon.
Camera setting for each shot:
1. 1/500, f7.1, iso 450
2. 1/500, f9.0, iso 2000
3. 1/500, f9.0, iso 640
4. 1/500, f9.0, iso 800
5. 1/800, f9.0, iso 320
