Louisiana or Northern Waterthrush?
Kerri replied to rayh's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Powdermill Nature Reserve (on facebook) recently had side by side comparisons of birds in the hand of Northern Waterthrush and Louisiana Waterthrush. Photos attached. -
This little guy hit our window
Kerri replied to Gman68's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Edit - Sorry I just noticed this was from a few days ago ๐ You can put him in a box with the top open somewhere quiet to see if he recovers. Usually a half hour or an hour. If injured you can reach out to a local wildlife rehabber this one is in dallas area https://www.rogerswildlife.org/index.php -

Black crow like bird with white shoulders

Sorry didn't note the location. -
There are several bee breeders here in Texas. B Weaver and R Weaver are 2 up in Navasota. They have bred their bees over several generations to thrive here in Texas. If you are capturing a whole wild hive and have made sure the queen is in the capture the only way to ensure she doesn't choose to fly away with her entire harem is to clip her wings.

Red-winged blackbird can have just the pale yellow patches showing - can look white in some lighting. Or Tri-colored blackbird? -

There are some reports of half male/female plumaged cardinals and grosbeaks. Perhaps goldfinches as well?

I really enjoyed how hard this weeks quiz was for me. Dusted off my Sibley's and kept going back and forth on most of them. Thanks for keeping the photos challenging and educational ๐

That was a hard one for sure - I got confused on photo 1 because Dusky-capped Flycatcher doesn't show on the allaboutbirds.com website just Dusky Flycatcher so I went with Ash-throated for number 1 photo. Great comparison of similar species!
