Saw this bird perched on deck railing this afternoon in Chardon, Ohio. Can't tell whether or not it's a Wood-Pewee, as it appears to have an eye-ring (or not). Anyone? Thanks in advance. Bob T.

These were taken in Chardon, Ohio this afternoon. Because of what appears to be an all-black bill, I would guess an Eastern Phoebe, but the wing bars confuse me. Any help? Thanks in advance

Haven't a clue what this little gray sparrow-like bird is. Video clip is not good, but any help? Thanks in advance. Bob T.

Need to confirm this is a Yellow rump. Not a great pic. Thanks in advance.

Just want to confirm that this is a Solitary Sandpiper. Taken in Burton, Ohio this morning on the Cuyahoga River. Thanks, Bob T.

Thanks once again, akandula. More knowledge.

This poor photo was taken in Chesterland, Ohio this morning. I don't know whether I was looking at a sparrow, a finch, a flycatcher, or none of the above. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Bob T.

Thanks, akandula. In retrospect, I believe the Eatstern and the Eastern Towhee are closely related. Bob T.

These unfortunate photos were taken in Burton Ohio on 5-2-20. The bird was in in a small tree next to grassy area singing his heart out. At first I thought it was a Bay-breasted Warbler, but the song didn't match ... it was more Towhee-like.

Thanks, Connor ... sparrows are very difficult!

These were taken in Chardon, Ohio, 2020-04-28 at 1630. Best I could do. The bright eye ring and gray stripe at back of head, and longish tail seem to match up with pictures of a Field Sparrow, but I realize it could also be a Chipping Sparrow.

I live in Chardon,Ohio, and about noon, this bird showed up on our deck. At first I thought it was a juvenile Rose-breasted Grosbeak, as we had them here daily until a week-and-a half ago. But I don't think so. From online photos (iBird), it matches a "Black-headed female breeding" most closely. Is that possible? The photo is lousy, but it's the best I could do. Still, any chance someone could narrow it down??

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
