Not really for this reason but I often don't actually get around to posting my lists for as much as a week later so any location info is at least several days outdated. Not a bad caution though - around us there have been cases of someone trolling the obituaries and showing up during the funeral. What a way to make someone's bad day awful 😡

I only saw the one photo until you mentioned it. I agree that the other photos are definitely raven. I usually don't have any trouble telling them apart in the field but you almost always get a better angle than that at some point. Mostly wondering if there was any good way to tell simply from this photo.

Agreed

Is that a 6' piece of grass?

birdie 🦅 #36: 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟩 https://birdiegame.net/ Reminded me so much of a - Spoiler - Pygmy Nuthatch but just wasn't finding the right track once that was out.

Spots vs stripes on the breast can eliminate a lot of options if you are able to see that.

One of the thrushes? Swainsons maybe?

birdie 🦉 #35: 🟥🟨🟨🟨🟩⬛ https://birdiegame.net/ That tail didn't give me any clue😄 But I got there eventually without help. I have only used a field guide for a couple - one of which was that last warbler. I figured out pretty quick that it was a warbler but I don't know many more than the half dozen we get out west.

No doubt. My sister just barely arrived in the town in Colombia where I have been several times to stay with friends who live there when the lock down started. I think she got to get out for a couple of days at the beginning of her planned month long stay and then got stuck inside the house for the rest of the time plus some. One person per household one day per week was allowed out to grocery shop for an hour or two and even then she got harassed. They finally had to be evacuated by a special Colombian military aircraft and it was a riot - complete with being lined up on the tarmac while guys in full body hazmat suits fumigated them head to foot with a powered backpack sprayer containing who knows what that I'm sure was worse for you than covid. 😬 I still don't think she's manged to get her luggage she wasn't allowed to bring.

Not sure what else it could be

It's an ostrich nest!
