Please identify these birds from last Fall - Bruce Peninsula

These poor shots were taken last September

The black/brown bird was by the edge of a lake.

The 'yellow' bird was eaten from a small tree at the edge of a field. It then flew deep down into the grass in the field and we didn't see it emerge.

Can you identify them for us?

1. Rusty Blackbird.
2. Eastern Meadowlark.

You're the best! We'd never even heard of an Eastern Meadowlark! Thank you
