Traill's or Pewee in Houston?
gpoole replied to pointreyesbirder's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Perhaps an Eastern Phoebe (EAPH)with a round,dark-capped head, white throat, and black bill. -
The pale translucent crescent across the outer primaries suggests a Red-shouldered Hawk. Wait for the experts.

Lots of Yellow Warblers and Common Yellowthroats along the hiking trail at Crystal Cresent Provincial Park in Nova Scotia this morning. I am unsure of these two warblers and could use some help. I believe the photos are of the same two birds but can't be sure. Thanks for taking a look.

Help with blurry longshots
gpoole replied to gpoole's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks, Peromyscus. I'll wait and see if anyone can pin down the first bird before I submit my list for today. -
Sea watching from a point this morning in Nova Scotia. A great morning once the fog moved off with no wind and calm seas. Many Shearwaters flew low to the water, and I managed a couple of photos of smaller birds that overtook and passed the Shearwaters. They both had rapid wingbeats. The first bird may be a Murre of some kind or a Razorbill and the second an Atlantic Puffin. Can you folks confirm or suggest something else? Thanks (oh, The photos have been cropped but not altered. )

Black head, very vocal, white v tail
gpoole replied to UkChic's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Please disregard my guess but not my welcome. Tree Swallows don't have white tails. -

Perhaps a Tree Swallow. They like to sit on cables and their song is kind of tinkling. Welcome to the WhatBird community. -
Bad photo--Coccyzus sp?
gpoole replied to Jerry Friedman's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I was thinking Sharp-shinned. -
Merlin says Willow flycatcher

Nice pic! -
Help with bird ID please
gpoole replied to cypresscreek's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Might be a Say's Phoebe as per Peromyscus as I think there is visible rufous showing under the tail in the 4th picture. -
Help with bird ID please
gpoole replied to cypresscreek's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
The first bird is a Lark Sparrow distinguished by its unique bold facial pattern. The second bird may be a House Wren with its plain brown crown, thin slightly curved bill, and lack of discernible eyebrow. The third bird looks to be a flycatcher but I'm not confident, perhaps a Willow. (just a stab so wait for the experts) -
Thanks, @Avery I was leaning adult (eastern) as well and will report as such.

I have just one blurry picture of this woodpecker in Nova Scotia this morning. Looked to be about the size of a Hairy Woodpecker. My guess is a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker but I am unsure. Thanks

I agree with your ID. Young Broad-winged Hawk. Markers are pale underparts with tear-shaped brown spots-- short, yellow feet--upper parts brown with white flecking--indistinct mustache--wingtips just short of the tail tip. I could be full of malarkey, so wait for an expert.

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.
