Fartin' Frank couldn't figure out why none of of the other Geese would hang out with him........ IMG_3216-001 by Wayne J Smith, on Flickr3 points

Lastly, to get to Bachman's Warbler, you'd have to ignore the extensive white in the tail and the strong white supercilium. Bird ID is not just finding a character or two in the field guide, it also involves ruling out EVERYTHING ELSE.3 points

That is actually a Tennessee Warbler. Note the lack of wingbars, the gray head with dark eyeline and white supercilium, the white underside, and the green back.3 points

A local wetland has a low number of waterfowl this year but a good variety. This Northern Pintail flew in unexpectedly while I was photographing some Bufflehead.3 points

A have a bridge camera too, a Canon Powershot G3X. It has amazing quality for 600mm zoom.1 point

You should invest in a high-quality lens, which is more important than the camera body itself. I personally use a Canon 7D Mark II with a Canon 100-400mm L IS II lens. It's a really nice combo for amateur photographers.1 point

Not a Hutton’s. It’s a Plumbeous/Cassin’s. I’m not sure that Cassin’s are very common in SE AZ so I’ll go with Plumbeous.1 point

That's a Dark-eyed Junco! Sorry, I did not read what you were asking. I do not know about the subspecies.1 point

it's a very rare phenomena that few have captured on film... certain bird species produce an excess of electricity(kind of like when we shock each other with static electricity) and the result is a brief laser show out the birds back end. Usually only happens under dry conditions. It's been known to start a forest fire or two.1 point

this is just a great conversation. It is a bird right? Any votes for mammal at this point? 😛1 point

In the main ID forum @Charlie Spencer just referenced an old PBS documentary which I also saw (well worth watching out for) about the intelligence of Corvids and it reminded me of this photo. I find these birds absolutely fascinating.1 point

This is a Lesser for the reasons Jerry Friedman mentioned, especially the fact that the white wing wing bar is only present in the secondaries, and stops before the primaries. That's diagnostic, if I remember correctly. Head shape is variable and hard to assess in one photos.1 point
-
I agree about the great photo. With the narrow black nail on the bill and especially the white on the upper side of the wing stopping abruptly at the joint, I'm in favor of Lesser, but keep waiting for the more informed.1 point

These are female/immature Red-breasted Mergansers. As you were saying, Common Mergansers have a white chin, cleaner border between the head and breast coloring, and a shorter, thicker-based bill.1 point

Agreed with first-winter White-crowned. Immatures have a similar head pattern to adults but have brown and gray (not black and white) stripes.1 point
