Warbler? Tanager? Oriole?
gpoole replied to harpoon659's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Pine Warbler. Markers- Contrasting yellow/green front and gray/white rear- relatively large bill- tail appears notched- diffused streaking on the upper breast. Only a guess to open the bidding. -
Also, skinny legs and square-tip tail. I agree with @Snake Fingers. Sharp-shinned Hawk.
-
Rusty cap, gray underparts, dark eyeline through the eye, and hangin' out on a lawn. I'd say, Chipping Sparrow.

Some Odd Warbler Today While Birding.
gpoole replied to Birds are cool's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
White vent, dark undertail, maybe an eyering in photo #1. Could be a Nashville but the fine streaks on the throat seem wrong. Just a guess. -
Question about nictitating membranes
gpoole replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
The nictitating eyelid in the first photo doesn't look fully closed, perhaps allowing in a little more reflective light resulting in a clearer eye image. Just a guess. -
Lincoln's. The fine streaking and yellow wash on the throat do it for me.
-
Looks like a female Long-tailed Duck.
-
I agree with Aidan's IDs.
-
my favorite tip is that the split white eye-ring is incomplete at the top and bottom of the eye.
-
The sloping forehead and the white patches on the wings would suggest a Common Goldeneye. Wait for an expert.

Small gray/brown bird Central Texas 78070
gpoole replied to TexasCobra's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Kinda looks like a flycatcher to me. Maybe an Eastern Phoebe? (in my opinion) I am not an expert. -
Northern or Loggerhead Shrike?
gpoole replied to VikingVagabond's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Looks like a Loggerhead to me with the big head, large bill, and lack of any fine barring on the chest. I am not an expert. -
Thanks for your help. As Colton V pointed out, the Junco is most likely a female Slate-colored. It's just that I see many Juncos all year long and this one being so brown just stood out.

On the Salt Marsh Trail in Halifax, Nova Scotia this morning. Could be a female Red-winged Blackbird but I thought I should ask you folks to have a look. Also I saw a very brown Dark-eyed Junco that stood out from the others. Thanks

Thanks IKLland. Since I posted, I looked at last weeks' ebird reports for the Salt Marsh Trail hotspot where I took these photos and there were two Long-billed Dowitchers confirmed at the same spot on Dec.21st. Since there hasn't been a Short-billed in oner a month, I think they are probably continuing birds.

Blurry pictures taken at sunset this evening in Nova Scotia at a tidal marsh. Very sketchy yellow light. Long or Short-billed would be a new bird for me. Thanks for looking.

Thanks folks. It's causing quite a stir. Posting photos is so important because, You never know!!!

Great or Double-crested?
gpoole replied to floraphile's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I see lots of both here in Nova scotia often together and size difference is a good field marker with the GRCO being larger than the DCCO. Even without comparison that white throat and stout bill would be enough for me to ID this bird as a Great Cormorant. The rarity of GRCOs in Alabama has me doubting myself. I defer to the experts- 12 replies

Could be a pair of Mexican Ducks.

My guesses : Sabine's Gull, Common Tern, Sanderlings, Piping Plover, Black Bellied Plover.

Today in Nova Scotia. Prairie Warbler would be a new bird for me so I would like confirmation before reporting. Thanks so much.

I think it looks kinda like a Wood Duck? Although I can't discern a crest.
