Say's Phoebe?

Yeah. I got that one. Thanks Blackburnian. What has me confused is the black wing tips.

Thanks Tony. Just so you know, I have guide books and endeavor to identify these birds on my own and am making progress. The collective knowledge, and the willingness to share it on this site, is a huge assist.

Pics are of the same bird. Thanks

Many thanks again Phalarope713.

Low brush along the beach in Nova Scotia today. There have been Tree Sparrows reported here in the past and this bird never did get more than a foot above the ground. Thanks for your effort.

error. my bad

Much obliged blackburnian.

Hi all. #1 Dovekie #2 Some kind of murre? #3 Herring Gull (American 3rd winter?) Thanks for your time.

Thanks Melierax. I'll put this to bed.

Alex Henry.FYI You are correct in your assumption that the pink spot on 2 photo is the uppertail. I remember that the bird dropped down and flew away from me. Does this make the ID good for a Redpoll?

Thanks AlexHenry. I think that if 5&6 is a Purple Finch then it would follow that 1&2 has a good chance of being a Purple Finch. I thought #7 should be a Song Sparrow, but it just didn't sit right with me.

1&2 same bird- 3&4 same bird- 5&6 same bird-- 7 who knows? Thanks for taking on the challenge.

Thanks Phalarope713.
