    Posting on behalf of someone else, seen in Haymarket, VA yesterday. Tail looks too short for a Coopers/Sharpy and the general markings are throwing me off. Seems “off” for a Red-Shouldered to my eyes .... The Merlin app gave me two results which I’m really questioning its accuracy. . 1) N Goshawk. - while they’re not unheard of in the area (coming down from the Shenandoah mountains/Blue Ridge some years, etc), they are fairly uncommon. 2) Short-eared Owl. - seriously? I’m almost certain that this is not an owl LOL! Any takers? Thanks!

    In flight Tropical has a fairly notched tail but this is tougher to see when perched.
  14. Kevin
    Welcome to Whatbird! Agreed.

    Nonbreeding Forster's. Note the large isolated black ear patch with a pale nape, which is diagnostic as no other terns in North America have this characteristic.

    Thanks for the link and the identification, everyone!
  18. akandula
    Ring-billed is correct. Note the pale mantle, dark wingtips, and black band around the small yellow bill. A Herring Gull would have a noticeably larger bill.

    I struggle with Gull IDs. I want to say this is a Ring-billed gull, but without a good luck at the legs, I can't tell.

    Cornell's All About Birds is a great site to learn about the Osprey and all the other birds of North America: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Osprey/overview

    That is exactly correct about eBird. There's really no clear answer to what parvipes is. Steve is definitely the guy for Canada/Cackling Goose subspecies.
  22. Mikewood
    I thought maybe it was a Cooper’s hawk?
  23. Mikewood
    Is that a type of hawk? I am very new to learning about birds and am from Indiana and now vacationing in Florida. I’ve never seen something like this bird in Indiana!!!

    Welcome to the forum, Mike! I agree with cvanbosk, that is an Osprey.
  26. Rudebird
    Is there any way to tell from this photo, or generally when a Tropical Kingbird is perched, if the tail is a Tropical, other than the color?
  27. cvanbosk
    Osprey
  28. Mikewood
    Here it is! Thanks! mike
