Kinda looks like a flycatcher to me. Maybe an Eastern Phoebe? (in my opinion) I am not an expert.

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!!!

This morning in Nova Scotia. Most likely Hudsonian but I have no experience with this bird. Thanks

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

Could be a pair of Mexican Ducks.

I wouldn't expect to see a woodpecker on a roof, but a male Williamson's Sapsucker has a mostly black back and white stripes on it's face.

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.

I think you might have misunderstood blackburnian's response.

Comments from Jerry Friedman and Brian Rusnica prompted me to do some further research. In the publication 'Hawks From Every Angle' there is a photograph (RS02) of a juvenile Eastern Red-shouldered Hawk with the pale comma-shaped wing panels and pale mottling along the upperwing coverts identical to the poster's images. As stated, the buffy colored crescents on top of the primaries have convinced me that this is a Red-shouldered. I learn so much here.

Welcome to the Whatbird Community. I would guide you to a site called "The Feather Atlas". I think you are on the right track. Your feathers may have belonged to a Red-bellied Woodpecker. I am not an expert.

Looks like a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk with pale mottling along upperwing coverts and pale primary wing panels. I am not an expert.

I change my ID to Franklin's based on location re @Tanager 101. I should have looked at ebird before jumping in. Sorry

Could be an Eastern Wood-pewee?

Could be a Sage Thrasher. It has yellow eyes and kinda matches your discription.

Looks like a fall adult male Yellow Warbler.

Looks like a Rhinocerous Auklet to me as well. Seems to have a yellow tinge to its bill. I've no experience with this species.
Common Goldeneye?

The sloping forehead and the white patches on the wings would suggest a Common Goldeneye. Wait for an expert.
