Witnessed a spectacular show this evening - 13 Chimney Swifts plus several Common Nighthawks.

I posted this a while ago but nobody looked at it ?

This morning in Louisiana. Indigo Bunting. They are molting like crazy...

Today--Brown Headed Nuthatch...

Blue Gray Gnatcatcher taken this morning in Louisiana.

I watched The Avengers, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Avengers: Infinity War for my b-day.

idk about the 1st but the 2nd looks like Common

@Melierax awesome video! (I wish I could hold my camera that steady when I take a video lol) also I think the Wren drank too much coffee

It's actually a Mourning Dove!

From what I can see they're all Swainson's Hawks. The close-up photo looks like a young male with the lightish brown colors and incomplete bib. These guys are awesome during migration ?

taken this morning (which is supposed to be early for yellow-bellied here)

With that short primary projection, I’m thinking maybe Least here. It’s not Yellow-bellied. Interestingly, a lot of empids show yellow in the belly, so Yellow-bellied Flycatcher can be a misleading name. What to look for in YB is a lot of yellow in the throat that contrasts very little belly.

1. Song Sparrow 2. Blackpoll Warbler 3. Yellow Warbler 4. Tennessee Warbler 5. Wilson’s maybe? I’m not sure.

Looks good for Least. Pretty compact shape/structure overall and I'm seeing yellow on the bill.

It's a Manx -- Audubon's have dark undertail coverts and a bit of white in front of the eye. They're almost unheard of in cold water.

Least

@MerMaeve that's awesome! Watched Mission Impossible: Fallout the other day. It was really good!

I agree with Common Yellowthroat. Definitely not an oriole.

Okay, why? What characteristics of an Oriole do you see? What species of oriole? My oriole ID skills aren't very good and I could use some pointers.

All from this morning. Sandpipers are from the romantic Pojoaque Septage Ponds, Santa Fe Co., New Mexico. You're not allowed to get close to the ponds. 1. Baird's? 2. Least? With Killdeer for scale: 3. What do you hear on this that's not a Yellow-breasted Chat (or a motor)? Is there a Western Tanager in there?

My mom found this huge Cecropia Caterpillar the other day. ? Cecropia Moth Caterpillar by MerMaeve, on Flickr

They are so cool looking!

He's saying "Oh ma gawd, that is such a cool car!"

My first Barn Swallow Photo

I agree with Common Yellowthroat -- a Yellow Warbler would have bright yellow in the tail feathers, while any of our orioles should show wing bars and either yellow undertail coverts or some sort of face pattern (or both).

Yes, a very young one.

Three that may have been on the old forum: Northern Parula, Prothonotary Warbler, and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.

The starling decided he wanted to be in the picture too! (P.S. the bird in the center is a Brown-headed Cowbird)

My first day out with a new lens. It certainly isnt great for cloudy days, but I was glad to capture this pair of, "Northern flickers".

"What are you looking at!?"
