[Flycatchers - Grant's Pass OREGON]

Thanks all for setting me straight. FWIW, also got a couple more lifers: Black-Headed Grosbeak, Lesser Goldfinch, California Gull, Anna's Hummingbird and Black Phoebe. Overall a productive trip!

All taken week of August 7

Went for a visit to southwest Oregon from Georgia . . . couple of flycatchers. Not a lot of experience with them.

Pictures 1 and 2 are same bird. Throw out a guess of Ash-Throated because of black bill, but don't see any rufous on the wings.

Picture 3 - Willow?

I'll take 'em!

Thanks Connor/Tanager . . .

Going through old pictures.

Was on a cruise - did a whale watching excursion and saw these . . . Murrelets? Clearly this Georgia boy not familiar with these seabirds.

Is there enough to ID here?

 

Thanks for the help,

Thank you Bird Nuts . . . Gray-Cheeked is a lifer. Looks like I have a mixed flock here. Fascinating!

[Thrushes . . . Columbus GA]

Have about a dozen thrushes taking up residence in a tree at the far end of my yard. Never had a chance to watch them for any time before this, they'll probably be leaving soon.

Checking:

No 1 - Gray-Cheeked? Leaning toward this with incomplete white eye-ring

No 2 - Swainson's? Seems to be a buffy eye-ring.

Don't know what else to use to ID the two.

Thanks for help, guidance!

QQ/Grackle:  Well, that's as silly as a House Finch!?

I'll go with that unless someone offers something more compelling.

Thanks -

Adding Kevin to the thanks!

East Coast guy gets a week out West . . . found this at Lake Selmac (Aug 17, 2021).

Something silly like a House Finch?

Appreciate the help . . .

Thanks Nut - I had written off the Kinglet because of color. These are the colors I am used to for the RCKI:

Lake Selmac, (west) Oregon, April 14 during my west coast trip. Convinced myself its a flycatcher - leaning toward Hammond's, with Dusky and Gray as alternatives (in that order).

Appreciate any help . . .

[Cooper's/Sharpie . . .]

Today (01/19/2021, Columbus GA) - chased a northern cardinal into a bush and created quite the noise.

Still trying to learn these guys. Looks like a small head to me - Sharpie?

Thanks all,

Jerry

[Hairy or Downy?]

Boy - thanks for the additional field mark (unspotted white portion of the tail).  I see it in Sibley's now! Appreciated . . . first of year for me.

[Hairy or Downy?]

Usually I find these pretty cut and dry, but the length of the bill (to me) tends toward hairy, while the rest looks like a downy.

Thanks!

Can I go with a Sharpie on this? Sitting out back watching the bird feeder. All of a sudden about 20 Mourning Doves launch - I thought "something spooked them." About 30 seconds later this guy flew in. Makes for an interesting afternoon. Same bird both pictures.

Thank you HamR . . . was going between a Tennessee and Orange-Crowned (either would be a lifer) while rifling through my 10 bird books!
