Flycatcher...maybe??
gpoole replied to Jodi Nielson's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I'll give it a try. My guess is a Willow Flycatcher. Based on slender body,orange lower mandible, indistinct eye-ring, medium bill, dull wing bars and I think I can see medium primary extention. Without hearing its 'fitz-bew' call, it looks very similar to an Alder Flycatcher. I'm definitely not an expert and may be way off base, so wait for an expert. -

I agree with your IDs -
Thanks. I value your opinion.

I think this is a Sharp-shinned, but with this poor image, should it be reported on ebird as Sharp-shinned/Cooper's Hawk? Halifax,Nova Scotia this morning. Thanks

"kumlieni" Iceland Gull or Glaucous Gull?
gpoole replied to stitch58's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I think this is a Glaucous. I note that it has the rounded head of an Iceland but, the forward positioning of the eye as the result of the wider rear head points to Glaucous. As well,the white wing tips project less than a bill's length beyond the tail giving the gull a more compact look than an Iceland. Wait for the experts. -
I think I found a Red Knot this morning.

Thanks for the confirmation Birding Boy. -
Lesser Black-backed Gull?
gpoole replied to gpoole's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks for the input Aiden. GBBG are far more common here. Young gulls are a challenge. -

Looks like a Lesser Yellowlegs to me. Shorter straight bill. I'm no expert.

Two new ones for me? ( I think )
gpoole replied to gpoole's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Re "pope's nose". I misspoke. My bad. What I meant was that the beak follows the line of the crown. -

gpoole replied to gpoole's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
My reasoning on the hawk is: Pope's nose, lighter nape, reasonably thick legs and the tail feathers look to be rounded but I welcome input. Thanks -
Nova Scotia this morning. I'm never too confident with new birds and don't want to post until I'm sure. Thanks for your time. Cooper's Hawk and Piping Plover?

Maybe Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
-
yay. Progress

I'd default to @AlexHenry. The bill sure looks like a Blue-winged. The lack of a pale spot at the base of the bill threw me off.

I think juvenile Green-winged Teal. I am not an expert.
