Last week doing some hiking in California, I snapped these terrible shots of birds deep in the forest. Not sure if anyone can ID them or not, but I thought I'd try. Picture 2 almost looks like there is a crest like that of a Quail?

I was out for an exercise walk this morning. Heard a distant hawk call. I did not have my camera so I recorded it. Can anyone tell by this song what Hawk it is? Also a very bad iphone picture. Taken in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. 2021-07-18 1205.wav

I'm from Canada and we have lots of Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers here. I'm pretty sure this is a Nuttall's though as the barring does not go all the way up its back. Can someone confirm? Taken in California last week.

Thanks everyone.

Incredible White Eye Ring
Miss Marge replied to Miss Marge's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks Connor (and Sean). It's not listed in my Sibley's Birder's Life List and Field Guide Diary. I read up on it this morning. "In 2019 the IOC revised their taxonomy of white-eyes, which included recognizing the simplex subspecies of “Japanese White-eye” and several other taxa as Swinhoe’s White-eye; and reorganizing “Japanese White-eye”, which they now list as Warbling White-eye." This decision has now been followed by eBird in their eBird/Clements 2019 Taxonomy Update (August 7th). Introducing this revision, their entertaining recipe-style update states that: “Asian Zosterops have undergone a comprehensive, extensive, and confusing reorganization. Much of this is based on several studies that include an extensive genetic phylogeny for the taxa in south and east Asia…” This is a new realm for me. -

They sure do look similar. Can I confirm Swinhoe's then? -

Possibly a Japanese white-eye" -
Just came back from California to visit family after 17 months. Captured this incredibly beautiful bird at the beach yesterday, July 14. Is it a Vireo or Warbler? Stunning!

Great Egret and attachment?

Oh my. That was my first thought but boy, that's some sky writing! Too funny! Thanks for your insight ? -
Can someone tell me what's going on in this picture I took yesterday? Perhaps a cord of sorts? Very strange to see once I put my pictures on the computer. I didn't notice anything while he was in the water or when he flew away.

Hiding in the reeds
Miss Marge replied to Miss Marge's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thank you -
I was out on a walk this afternoon and saw movement in the reeds by a pond near my home in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. This is the best shot I got. Any idea?

I thought at first this was an American Goldfinch, but upon closer inspection I'm thinking a Warbler - Nashville maybe? Anyone have any idea? Taken in Brampton, Ontario, Canada on May 30, 2021. It's the only picture I could get.
