I found both of these birds on the Konza Prairie, Flint Hills of eastern Kansas. I'm guessing the first one is juvenile Indigo Bunting, and the second is juvenile Blue Grosbeak. I'm not that familiar with either species. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks Cindy. Looking at the link you provided, mine definitely appears to be a grosbeak.

Definitely looks like some kind of Grosbeak.
