What Birds are these? Part 5
akandula replied to Candydez12's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Yeah, now looking back at it, I'm not completely sure if it's pale enough. It does look a lot like a wild one. I'm curious for any other opinions. -

5. The peachy throat indicates some domestic genes. 8. Eared Grebe with the middle-peaked head. -
california coastal bird
akandula replied to michael stirling's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Those are Townsend's Warblers. Note the dark ear patches. -
Eastern Purple Finch, Sacramento, California
akandula replied to Aidan B's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
For comparison, here's a photo of a female-type Eastern Purple I took not too long ago. Notice how my bird has bolder markings and browner plumage. -

akandula replied to Aidan B's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Yeah, I haven’t seen @akiley on here recently . I would say Western due to the greenish tint on the back. -
Adult Cooper's is a safe bet with that large size (compared to the Merlin) and short outer tail feathers.

You got it.

2020 Leftovers #1 - Ducks
akandula replied to neilpa's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
The first bird strikes me as a Ring-necked Duck with that square head. I could be wrong, though. -
Bonaparte or Black Headed gull
akandula replied to pictaker's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
It's probably the one in Manasquan Inlet (New Jersey). -

Orange bill, fully dark inner primaries... looks good for the Black-headed, Rich. -
Yellowlegs. Meadowlark. Blue-headed vireo
akandula replied to Roadguy205's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I agree with Pine Warbler for #3. Thick bill, eye-arcs, unstreaked back. -
No, adult Red-shoulders have black-and-white checkered patterns on their wings.

What about some Fox Sparrows?
-
American Tree Sparrow.
-
That's a Redhead. Note the round head and warm-colored body.

Wilson's Snips?
akandula replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Yup. The striped heads/backs and long bills are distinctive. -
Lesser Yellowlegs?
akandula replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
With the noticeable nostrils on a pale bill base, these are Greater Yellowlegs. -
Which Bluebird, Western or Mountain?
akandula replied to lonesome55dove's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Mountain for me. Very pale overall. -
A warbler and a few others from today
akandula replied to Evie12's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
All of those are variable features. -
American Tree Sparrow?
akandula replied to zdgesb84's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I can see the photos. Both look okay for American Tree. -
Yes, that’s also a Ring-billed.

akandula replied to Evie12's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I think the pose is confusing people. The chunky appearance, large gray bill, and reddish wings/tail all point me to Song. -

No, @Birding Boy is correct. Both are Songs.
