    Hi, and thanks in advance. I saw this bird at Holden Arboretum, in Kirtland, Ohio, at about noon today, diving continuously. Looking at photos, the closest I could come was a Red-breasted Merganser, but I'm not sure.

    This appears to be a young sparrow. Can you tell from these poor photos what species? Thanks in advance. Bob T.

    I saw two of these near a small lake at the Holden Arboretum, in Kirtland, Ohio about 11 a.m. on 20 March. They were feeding in the tall grass near the lake. Thanks in advance. Robert Titus

    I missed this on my earlier post (sorry) I saw 2 of these birds at Headlands State Park, Ohio today (3-17) at about 1 p.m. They flew from the dune grass, close to the lake (lake Erie), to a nearby tree as we approached. I've scoured Sparrow photos, and the closest I can come are Swamp Sparrows. The photos aren't great, but perhaps they will help. Thanks in advance. R. Titus

    Both birds are Juncos, I think, but in looking them up, I'm confused about the terminology (i.e. "Slate-colored" vs. Dark-eyed). Can you tell me which is which? (Sorry about the photo, but it's the best I could do with both birds at once.) 

     

    Thanks, Melierax929908556_Whatbird2019-01-16.thumb.jpg.d1fb71697424bbb7d695ded3c853d4a7.jpg

      Both are dark-eyed juncos; slate-coloreds are a subspecies. These are both slate-colored, female on the left.

    Thank you, Melierax. This same bird has visited a number of time in the last year and it's puzzled me. Even though I though it might be an anomaly, being a new birder, I wasn't sure.

    Can't ID this bird. A finch with awhile cap?
