Please help ID some peeps
sbruenjes replied to sbruenjes's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
OK, I guess that teaches me that I don't know anything about IDing Peeps yet... but I'll keep trying. -
I saw these birds last week at a wildlife refuge in Ocean County, NJ.. I tried to look at the legs, beak and the tail.. so here is my best guess.. In order: Western, Semipalmated, White-Rumped, No clue, Least. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I saw these birds on Thursday at a wildlife refuge in Ocean County, New Jersey. I was wondering if any or all of these would be stilt sandpipers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw this bird at a Wildlife refuge in Ocean County, NJ. I thought it was a Forster's tern, but Merlin came back with two of the three pics as a Roseate Tern (the middle pick came back Forster's tern...). I can't figure out to differentiate the two, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need help with shorebirds
sbruenjes replied to sbruenjes's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Now, as I am immersing myself in shorebird ID's, could the top bird be a white-rumped sandpiper? I am asking because of the fairly prominent white eyebrow.. -
More help with shorebirds
sbruenjes replied to sbruenjes's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
The first two are the same bird, after it wandered a bit.. but its a little better focused, and cropped. -
I saw these birds a few days ago at a Wildlife refuge in Ocean County, NJ. I thought the first bird was a yellowlegs, but it was small, and the beak seems small.. Could it be a solitary sandpiper? I know the other pic is dowitchers, but how do you differentiate short billed from long billed? And I think those are semipalmated sandpipers in flight? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw these birds yesterday at a Nature Preserve in Ocean County NJ. Shore birds give me a lot of trouble... I think the first is a semipalmated sandpiper.. I think the next three have a dowitcher, (short billed if I had to guess...) and I think a least sandpiper... but like I said, I could be way off... any help would be appreciated.

I was at the Edwin Forsythe Wildlife Refuge yesterday, and there were a lot of shorebirds...I am working my way to try and identify what I can, but I feel like I am going to be sending a lot of requests to help.. These birds were at the entrance to the refuge, and I think I have a chipping sparrow (but its darker than other chipping sparrows I have photographed), some purple martin, and what I believe are Sanderlings? Any help would be greatly appreciated

I saw these birds today while I was walking through a reservation in Essex County New Jersey. I think I have a song sparrow, but the white throat has me unsure, barn swallows, a chipping sparrow and a house finch. maybe... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw these birds today while I was walking in a park in Essex County New Jersey. I believe I have a downy woodpecker, a female Baltimore oriole, a white breasted nuthatch, which I don't usually see this time of year, and...this last one should be the easiest, but I don't really know what it is? European Starling?

I saw this bird in June at a local park in Essex County, New Jersey. I had thought it was a House Wren, but now I'm not as sure given the markings above the eye. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let me see if I have an understanding of differentiating the two. Here is a pic that was previously identified as Forster's. It looks like this bird has more of a reddish beak than the Forsters, and it looks like the wingtips are darker than the Forster's. Are these the best ways to differentiate? -
