Unknown Bird

I saw a bird with a long tail dive into the thick crown of a tree and while it was out of my sight it was making a lot of noise under the canopy of leaves. Yes, I was at the level of the trees but these birds were too far away for me to get a good, clear shot with my point-and-shoot despite the 14X zoom. It was around seven-thirty in the morning and the light of day was weak at that time. I waited for the birds to surface from the foliage and when they did I just could not get enough of them. I could not identify them as I could not find photos of them in the books that I have on birds. All I can say is that I am so lucky to have seen them this morning.
