I also live in Orange County. Are you on ebird? @IKLland. I don't live there. I have family there.

 

[ID help please]

Can someone possibly ID this bird? Taken while whale watching in Ucluelet, (West Coast of Vancouver Island) British Columbia yesterday, Tuesday, September 6.

[Warbler]

I only have 2 pictures and not the greatest angles but could these be Nashville Warblers? Taken in Southern California in July this year.

 

 

[Hawk ID]

Great. Thank you Avery. 

[Hawk ID]

Can anyone ID this hawk from this angle? He was perched, enjoying a meal as I snapped. Taken in July this summer in Dana Point, Southern Calfornia.

[Hawk ID]

Thanks for the confirmation and sharing your knowledge Colton. Much appreciated.

[Oriole]

Is this a Hooded or Orchard Oriole? It was hard to get a good picture as the bird was chowing down on a very plump bug. Another one taken in Dana Point, OC, California in July.

[Hawk ID]

This is the only shot I got, and it's probably a long shot, but can anyone id this hawk? I may be grasping ?. Again, taken in Orange County, California in July.

 

[Hummingbird]

Can anyone identify this hummingbird in flight? Taken in Dana Point, OC, California in July.

[Vireo]

Thanks Sean. I new bird for me.

[Vireo]

I was just walking along the Pacific Coast highway by the Monarch Beach Golf Course. I was taking pictures of hummingbirds as there were so many in the flower bushes along the way. Then I saw this little guy and snapped a picture.

[ID help please]

I snapped this bird in the middle of a field on July 25 at Dana Point, Orange County, California. Can anyone tell me what bird this is? The beak looks finch-like.

[Vireo]

Can someone identify this bird? Could it be a Bell's Vireo? I took this picture in Dana Point, in Orange County, California on July 24.

[Sandpiper]

I may have posted this already but I can't remember. Can someone ID this sandpiper? I took the picture in Belize on Caye Caulker Island in Belize in March.

[Rufous Hummingbird]

Found yet another Hummingbird which I think may be a Rufous. Taken in Southern California last week.

[Jaegers]

Now that I look closely. I believe you are right. I think Merlin was making a guess off of some bad digital images. Heermann's is it. Thank you.

[Tern & Gull]

Could this be a Caspian Tern? And what type of Gull is this? A Heermaan's? Both pictures were taken at Doheny State Park in California on March 13.

[Jaegers]

Are these Parastic Jaeger's? Taken in Doheny State Park in California on March 13. Not the best pictures. Taken from afar.

[Hummingbirds]

One more.

[Hummingbirds]

Oh dear. Oops. Key piece.

I took all of these March 10-15 in Southern California.

[Hummingbirds]

I find identifying Hummingbirds very challenging. The lighting has so much to do with it. Can someone please help with identifying the following? Many may be the same so I apologize in advance:

 

[Vireo]

Woo hoo! Excellent. Thank you. A lifer for me! ☺️

[Vireo]

What about this one? Taken at a different location? Still a Ruby Crowned Kinglet? The bill looks a little stubbier. Or maybe I just really want a new bird to add to my life list.?

[Vireo]

Could this be a Hutton's Vireo. Taken in Orange County, California last week.

[Scrub Jay]

I know there are 2 Scrub-Jays in California (California and Woodhouse's). Can someone confirm this is the California Scrub-Jay? Taken March 20 in Orange County.
