I ran into a thunderstorm to chase this Neotropic Cormorant, and it was worth it! https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608947013

Lincoln’s

You’re correct, it’s a Maggie!

#390: Purple Gallinule! https://ebird.org/checklist/S150098398

Yeah, it's a immature Common Gallinule.

I'll certainly brag when I eventually get a "self found" rare bird, but for now, I'm just doing my diligence and following the gurus when they report one, such as this Neotropic Cormorant: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608947016

Bay Breasted Warbler Scarlet Tanager But getting more expert opinions than mine would be wise. 😃

The subtly beautiful Philadelphia Vireo... https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608937934 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608937916

Tennessee for me.

Sabine’s Gull and Craveri’s Murrelet on yesterday’s pelagic. Lifers 401 and 402. County birds 305 and 306.

I don't have too many good photos of Carolina Wrens. This is my best one so far: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608958535

It is!

Looks fine

Yep, Chipping Sparrow.

Yes, no doubt.

Looks good to me! The throat is a little pale, but the transition is very soft, and the head is rounded.

Neither. That’s a Vireo, Warbling or Philadelphia, I believe it’s Philadelphia but I have no experience.

Broad winged

Hit up Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port A yesterday to chase a BTYW, but instead found Prairie Warbler and American Bittern for my Nueces County, Texas list, #298 and #299, respectively. https://ebird.org/checklist/S150127103

Did it eat the kingbird?

I think you’ve got a Bay-breasted Warbler (first two photos), maybe first three(?), the rest look like Ruby crowned kinglets

Nashville Warbler with that yellow throat.

All correct

One from back home. It took a while for me to figure out what species it was, at first in the field I thought it was an ordinary buzzard. However, several apps and algorithms had problems with identifying this bird. Eventually someone noted the shape of the nostril; which is apparently distinct for the European Honey-buzzard. Even though this is "just" a joung bird, I am still happy with my first sighting of this species! 🙂 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608927989

Bay breasted warbler

Yeah, it’s a Philly due to the yellow underside which is especially intense on the throat, and distinct face pattern

That actually looks better for a Philadelphia Vireo 🙂 Note the face pattern, and especially the thick bill and blue feet. edit: sniped by @IKLland!

Herring

Agreed - a male.

Agree with juvenile Common Gallinule.

Why not Couch’s/Tropical? That bill looks huge for a Cassin’s/Western type.

Agreed

Red-eyed

Seen on an East Coast beach

Snap, crackle, pop! I missed getting a Cooper's Hawk pic posted last week. But, here is a Western Kingbird.

Greatly outnumbered by Cassin’s here

An abundant bird in Colorado in the summer. I saw them often there and have seem a few in the winter here in Florida. I don't have an abundance of photos of them though.

I followed one of the local top birders to find this American Golden-Plover: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/608906032

The feeders often provide for some interesting interactions.
