Common vs. Roseate vs. other tern
gpoole replied to floraphile's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Seems to fit the bill for Roseate--Thin black bill,only two dark outer primaries on slender wings and all white tail. -
Common vs. other tern
gpoole replied to floraphile's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
My guess would be common, based on what seems to be a gray body,dark tipped outer primaries and the bill looks to be quite reddish. I am not an expert. -
The blackish scapulars with frosty edges and the birds location on the shore has me leaning more towards Least Sandpiper. Wait for the experts.

Halifax Nova scotia today. Can you have a look at these please. I think I have a Least and Yellow-bellied Flycatcher and a Swainson's Thrush. Thanks.
-
Looks a bit like a Ruby-crowned Kinglet but wait for the experts.
-
Maybe Osprey???
-
These are difficult for me but, the slight upturn of the bill in the first picture would suggest Greater Yellowlegs. Wait for more input.

Right you are.

Swainson's or Hermit Thrush MN
gpoole replied to deaditeash's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I didn't think of Gray-cheeked (my bad) and it does seem too rusty colored,but I know you folks are more experienced. As observed by IKLIand, not much of an eye-ring and a complete black upper bill with the lower having a yellowish pink base. -
Swainson's or Hermit Thrush MN
gpoole replied to deaditeash's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Because of the lack of buff color on the face and upper breast and the whitish eyering, my vote is Hermit Thrush. -
Adult females and one year male Magnolia show less black in the back,fainter face pattern and less streaking.
-
A closer look at your bird and a look at Sibley has changed my mind. I now agree with with Grasshopper.
-
That bold white eye-ring and white edged tail feathers has me thinking Vesper Sparrow. Wait for others to respond.

I believe you have a Yellow-breasted Chat.

A couple flycatchers from today…
gpoole replied to IKLland's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
my guess #1 Agree with Western Wood-Pewee #2 Agree with Pacific-slope #3 Western Wood-Pewee (only because it's posture doesn't seem as upright as an Olive-sided) Wait for the experts. -
Your bird doesn't seem yellow-green enough to be a Yellow-bellied. IMO it's white contrasting throat,chest and belly along with steep forehead and large round crown suggests a Least Flycatcher.

A little help with these
gpoole replied to floraphile's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I agree with your IDs. The strong chestnut cheek patch on the first bird suggests Cape May and the orange legs on the bird in the last photo suggests Blackpoll. -
I originally thought #1 was a Lesser and when Aiden suggested Greater, I had a closer look. It seems to be looking slightly away from the camera, which would make the bill appear shorter and it also looks slightly upturned. I now agree with Aiden.

I believe you are correct. Steep forehead, bold messy eye-ring, white contrasting throat,chest,belly, short primary extention, bold wingbars and short tail.

Foster's or Common Tern?
gpoole replied to jonesmunoz's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
In the first picture the flying birds seem to be Forster's, displaying silver-white primary coverts and gray tails with white outer webs. -
I think you are correct. Indigo Bunting. Maybe immature male (1st spring)
