Thanks for all the great info. I'll look into eBird, it would be nice to be able to help out with data collection. Your site is great and so much wonderful photography--I get lost in the pictures. Y'all are so helpful and good-humored when I post for ID help, it makes it fun to participate. Thanks again for helping out the new "kid" (55 tomorrow--lol) 😀

@HamRHead Ah, you would check an item off of a list that already exists but you would add an item to a list that is work in progress. I actually have both. Printed the ABA checklist but also keep track on a list of my own creation. Really only started keeping track in April, and I'm nearing the 100 mark. 😀

Thanks. Check another new one off the list...

taken on Pine Island, FL last week.Thanks

Shakin' my head at myself...lol. When I read "Little" Blue Heron in my searches, I thought they meant age/size, duh. Thanks for the id. 🙄

Thanks, I can see it now. He was only there for a flash, and it was really shadowed. Thanks again

taken 7/24 in Cape Coral, Florida

Horrible pic but I hope it's enough for id. Taken in a tree line, near open fields. Yellow brow and belly and I think I can see a white eye ring. Played with it a bit to brighten it up and bring up the colors.

I had tried every descriptor I could think of and right after I posted this I searched for "woodland bird with horizontal chest stripes" and he popped up. Thanks for the confirmation.

venturing a guess....Common Nighthawk???

No ideas. Such great camo, I thought it was part of the pine branch. Last week on Pine Island in SW Florida. Thanks

Wowsers! Thanks so much for the ID. That's another one for the list!

So sorry, I'm in South Central Kentucky--Bowling Green specifically. And it was taken this morning.
