Thanks for the IDs. Very much appreciated.

Not Swainson's. No buff and eye ring is too thin. I'm with Gray-cheeked crowd.

Taken today in northern Virginia. On golf course but in wooded area. Thanks for any help.

Not sure what this is. Photographed in the Forest Park area of Portland, OR on July 2. Any help appreciated.

Thanks Connor! Also, a new bird for me 😊

Photographed 4/17/2021 in Reston, VA. Foraging in a pool of water. I thought it was just a male House Sparrow when photographed but after looking more closely and posting on iNaturalist, I have doubts. Thanks for your help with the ID.

Thanks for the commentary Tony. I learn something every time I visit this website 🙂

Thanks folks for the confirms. Yes, the robin was struggling. In twelve years of wildlife photography, I've never seen a raptor take an American Robin. I figured it was because they didn't taste all that good. But, I guess not.

Nice find! According to All About Birds, central Texas would be just on the edge of it's range: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Mountain_Bluebird/maps-range

Taken today in Northern Virginia. The hawk was small. Didn't seem to be a foot tall but bigger than the American Robin prey. Thanks.

Thanks! New bird for me. A female - right?

Taken today in northern Virginia.

Thanks for the confirms 😊

Taken today in northern Virginia. I'm guessing Red-tailed but they look very different.
