We do not get White-crowned Sparrows too often out this east, but even less adults. So it was nice to see this beautiful adult perched right out in the open for me. White-crowned Sparrow by Patrick Felker, on Flickr3 points

Oops- I looked too quickly and didn't even see those guys on the left. One in the back is a Semi, the front a Least, and I doubt the middle one is IDable.1 point

Agreed. Just to be clear, both sparrows in the last photo are White-crowneds.1 point

For the East, the bird is much too bright for Orange-crowned. It is also just too lime green above for any Orange-crowned.1 point

Western Chippings retain juvenile plumage much longer than do eastern Chippies. The streaking below is juvenile plumage.1 point

I agree with MerMaeve that the scoters look more like Black Scoters and the last bird looks like a Blackpoll Warbler. #3 also looks like a Blackpoll and #4 might be a young gull...1 point

I just want to follow up on this. I received a response back from Tony Leukering and this is a first year GW Teal. It was exciting for a while ?1 point

Thanks all - done. Worse case they can have a laugh at my expense if I submit a GW Teal as a Garganey. It's been a fun learning experience. Hard to find good ID photos of that bird!1 point

I agree with IvoryBillHope, the bill and facial markings are off for a green-winged teal, but do match that of a Garganey. It's definitely an option at this point.1 point

My thoughts: I'd expect Green-winged Teal to have a much smaller bill. Face pattern is awfully bold for Blue-winged/Cinnamon Teal. Could be a weird Mallard I guess, but bill color doesn't really match. Don't like to jump to conclusions, but I'm having a tough time ruling out Garganey here.1 point

Had a funny moment today. In a matter of ten minutes four different species of woodpecker landed on one perch. Almost as if they were taking turns. Now I want to make this perch a patch just to see what else I can get on it.

Seems like lot of birds in my area (western NC mountains at about 3,000 ft) are just finishing up their molt - cardinals, mockingbirds, bluebirds,... Unless they are bald and shabby looking for other reasons. I don't think my other common feeder birds - nuthatch, brown thrasher, house finch, goldfinch, sparrow, chickadee, starling, dove, ... ever did it (or they hid when doing so).1 point
