[Sharpie? Sacramento, California]

You are correct IKLland. Coopers have a dark crown but lighter nape and neck giving the appearance of a 'cap'. The dark color of the crown on a Sharp-shinned Hawk continues down the nape and the neck. 'My bad' for not explaining more clearly.

[Sharpie? Sacramento, California]

I agree with IKIland. The squared tail in the first picture and the dark crown that seems to carry down the nape has me leaning Sharp-shinned Hawk.

[More new arrivals at the feeder ID....]

Agree with Kevin. Chipping Sparrows and Pine Warblers. A helpfull tip that someone posted on this site for Chipping Sparrows is that, their black eye line carries through the eye to the base of the bill.

[Help with a raptor]

I would say you're correct. Nice shots

[Bufflehead?]

Agreed. Female

[ID this bird, please:]

Agree. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.

[coopers?]

I think maybe Coopers. It's beak looks like it follows the line of it's forehead and the nape looks lighter than the top of it's head. Also it seems the tail feathers are graduated.

[Orange-crowned Warbler ?]

I'm no expert, but you could check Yellow Warbler noting the plain face, round black eye,pale eyering and yellow edging on the wing feathers. Only a guess.

[Do you think this is a Dovekie?]

Long diatance from shore. Crystal Cresant Beach Provincial Park, Nova Scotia this morning. 

[Yellow-rumped Warbler - Myrtle or Intergrade?]

 Edit/ I mean "visible".

[Yellow-rumped Warbler - Myrtle or Intergrade?]

The Warbler Guide by Stephenson and Whittle states "Yellow crown patch usually viable and distinctive."

[maybe a Common Murre?]

Then Razorbill it is. Thanks to everyone.

[Chipping Sparrow]

Looks good to me. Pinkish bill, rusty crown, white eyebrow,gray underparts.

[maybe a Common Murre?]

Is there enough information on these bad images to id this bird as a Common Murre? Photos were taken from shore off of the coast of Nova Scotia this morning. There seems to be white tips on the secondaries and a short stubby tail. It flew low to the water, disappearing between the sea swells. Any thoughts? Thanks... Ps The last image is enlarged from the next to last.

[Which Redpoll ?]

Thanks folks.

[Which Redpoll ?]

I managed only one picture of this bird and don't know if I should report it as a male Common Redpoll or a female Hoary Redpoll. Either will be a first for me. Thanks for your time. Oh, Nova Scotia this morning.

[Sandpiper help please.]

Much appreciated. Thank you.

[Sandpiper help please.]

No Alex. Like the 'Beatles',  I just "Let it Be ". I Guess it might be a White-rumped sandpiper. I have a couple more pictures if it helps.

[Sandpiper help please.]

Is this good for a Baird's Sandpiper? It would be a first for me. Seaside beach in Nova Scotia this morning. Thanks

[Can anyone ID this duck?]

Female Black Scoter it is then. Thanks so much everyone.

[Can anyone ID this duck?]

This lone duck landed just off the coast of Crystal Cresent Beach Provincial Park in Nova Scotia this morning. It swam around for a couple of minutes and then flew over to join some Common Eiders. Is it just another Common Eider? It looks different to me. Thanks

[more gull help Nova Scotia today]

Thank you.

[more gull help Nova Scotia today]

Ah yes Connor. Razorbills are a possibility. I'm happy about the Lesser Black-backed Gull as it is a new one for me. Thanks so much.

[more gull help Nova Scotia today]

Can I get confirmation on these gulls #1- Iceland Gull, #2-Ring-billed Gull, #3 and #4 are the same bird - Lesser Black-back Gull (I've not seen one before so the second picture is for comparison to the Great Black-backed Gull) ,  #5 and # 6 are the same birds, original and cropped - a long way off, but I think maybe Murres.  Thanks for the help
