Scarlet Tanager and Eastern Wood-Pewee

Yellow-bellied Flycatcher https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608856396

Nobody has. It's one of the birds cooked up in a conspiracy by the field guide publishers to increase the page count.

Yes, this is a Yellow-rumped Warbler, a 1st winter bird.

Yes! Nice shots!

Last two photos are of a Tennessee Warbler

Same here; for me it is not possible to go birding, make a selection, and edit those pictures on a regular day. We just got back from vacation and need to sort through, select, and edit a bit over 5000 photos. So here are the first that are done. I wish I could have gone lower with the green heron, but with several alligators nearby, I thought that was not a good idea 😅 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608848638 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608848634

Blue Dasher(I think)

Finally got a good photo of a Jaeger! ML608807066 Long-tailed Jaeger Macaulay Library

Wouldn't touch this with a hazmat suit and a twenty foot pole. I would guess INBU but wouldn't say for sure. Looks good for Wilson's Warbler. And yes, the feet color can be useful in identifying warblers.

The first bird is a Cape May. Check the yellow feet, green edges to the flight feathers and sharp bill.

Confirmed!

3 new county birds (OSFL, WIFL, EASO), and lots of warbler action! https://ebird.org/checklist/S149937161

Noha for me

Looks like a peacock.

Mine was yellowthroat, and then goldfinch, but the structure looks off to be a Goldy.

Maybe? But, this morning there were 3 Brown Boobies in Baltimore, 2 or all 3 adults. 1 or 2 BRBO have been in Baltimore for some weeks, with the first adult photographed at the end of July. 1 subadult was seen in New York City in late June. I don't think hurricanes or tropical storms were responsible for the late July & late June birds.

For what it’s worth, this is pretty clearly a Veery and I would personally have no issue “counting” it, but of course it is your list, your rules

Acadian? I toss that out mostly to bump this.

MacGillivray's Warbler!

American Avocet!

Another Flamingo, this one in Pennsylvania. Decided to take the 4 hour ride today to see it. Originally there were 2 but one was attacked by a Snapping Turtle. It was captured & taken for rehab, apparently not to badly hurt. I was talking to some of the local birders & they said there are plans to capture this bird also & reunite it with the other one & then relocating them both south somewhere, possibly Florida.

Common Yellowthroat and Least Flycatcher from yesterday.

By far the best ever Storm-Petrel shots I've ever gotten!!! As anyone who has done pelagic photography knows, Storm-Petrels are the hardest species out there to photograph well! Super stoked to have gotten such good shots! ML608777436 Ashy Storm-Petrel Macaulay Library ML608777435 Ashy Storm-Petrel Macaulay Library

First two look like Indigo Bunting to me (the first could be something else, but it’s too ratty to really pick out anything distinctive) and the last is a Wilson’s. Nice!

Second guessing myself. Are there some European Starlings in there, particularly the second shot.

I'm jealous! I've always wanted to see that species!

I’m actually risking my life telling you this. They don’t want us to know. But I’ve seen this bird. It’s real. Hold on, two guys in tuxedos are approaching me… Wait, what was I saying?

Thank you! It was consistently & weirdly "brown". The early morning light there can result in some odd color effects. bob

Same. I've seen dull ones but never quite this dull. It's a weird bird!

There seems to be a consensus for Acadian.

No wing bars either. It's not one but darned if I have a better guess.

All three of the Dragonflies were new ones for me!

Finally, a picture of a Yellow-billed Cuckoo that isn't awful: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608773648

This juvenile cooper's spent the day in my yard today. No photoshop, after a hard drive failure last week.

The elusive Green-masked Woodpecker:

This juvenile Swainson's was chasing mice on foot in my mother-in-law's hay yard just before dusk.

https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608514884 Having a bit of AF issues. The camera is focusing on whatever the closest object it (Often times the branch the bird is on instead of actually the bird.) Good day at Tawas though.
