Songbird in South TX
egosnell2002 replied to spoonbill21's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Oh true, really shoulda looked a little closer. Agreed with @akiley about iNat, sometimes people are a little fast to agree with IDs... -
Pale RTH...nothing more, right?
egosnell2002 replied to atxrvabyrd's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I really couldn't see that as anthying else besides Krider's personally... -
Photo sleuth conflict
egosnell2002 replied to Diane Roberts's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Yeah looks like a Red-tail to me, I think... To clear up some potential confusion- Harlan's Hawk is (currently) a subspecies of Red-tailed Hawk. This bird would be a Harlan's. -
Oh, calurus/alascensis Red-tail has that. Excuse my lack of experience with RT subspecies
-
Are you sure it's a Red-tail? I've never seen one with barring, but I don't know what subspecies you have. It's confusing me... it might suddenly occur to me what's off to me in a few minutes... Have any other angles (with the face)? The white could be down feathers I guess, but it looks pretty convincing as leucism to me.
-
Definitely Geese, and they're Canadas. Cackling will have even shorter necks, and I find especially in flight, stumpy bodies and comparatively longer wings.
-
Yes, I was referring to tedsandyman's photos. Your bird is definitely a Tennessee.

Immature Gulls
egosnell2002 replied to Leeward Birder's topic in Help Me Identify a Bird Outside North America
Yes, Herring. Not sure how they got Western Gull, St. Kitt's would be waaaaaaaay out of range. -
Need help with an I.D.
egosnell2002 replied to BLTom's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Is there something you see that points away from Clark's? The bill seems pretty yellow, and the lores pretty clean. -
Yes, very nice pics! Ontario is having an irruption of Bohemians currently, which is pretty fun! And back to the OPs photos, we can definitely rule out Bohemian by their appearance. As others have noted, the red under tail coverts would be obvious in this picture, and Bohemians would be much less brightly coloured, despite the setting sun lighting!

Northern Goshawk or Cooper's
egosnell2002 replied to Papa Tom's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Yeah Cooper's -
One more grouse picture to ID
egosnell2002 replied to Jim W's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Yep, Spruce. These birds look like juveniles, which are usually pretty docile. The adults even are known to be extremely approachable, and have been nicknamed "fool's hen". -
Bird id - Palo Pinto Co. Texas
egosnell2002 replied to Kevin's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
At first I thought Mockingbird (structurally), but pattern wise I'm thinking maybe a thrasher? It's mimid... -
Help with Gull ID
egosnell2002 replied to trader81's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Agreed on Glaucous. Did you see any, darker, sooty headed, asian gulls in Brantford today? If you don't already know (or didn't already see), there's two Slaty-backed Gulls at the Brantford dump currently which I would love to see! -
Rock Wren for me, but I suppose Canyon Wren is an option
-
Need help with Flycatcher
egosnell2002 replied to Warbler's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Brown-crested for me. -
Possible Glaucous Gull?
egosnell2002 replied to Saul Panzer's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Confirmed! -
Bullock's orioles?
egosnell2002 replied to PV-John's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

Ah, found it. Something wasn't clicking with with Rough-legged. Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk.
-
Hmm, seems to be, but according to range maps that's pretty out of range...
-
Yeah, I'd agree those are all Orange-crowns now. And yep, I don't bother even trying to separate celata/orestra, I bet half of the eBird pictures are labelled wrong anyways
-
I'm definitely not an expert- at all. I looked through some google images and looked at some comparison photos, and I'd lean Sulphur-bellied. The auricular is pretty dull, the supercilium contrasts with the throat, and I think that the morning light might be making the breast look brighter then in actuality. The bill is throwing me a bit, although their might be some darkness just at the edge of our vision in the photo, not sure if that ID feature is 100%, I know our Eastern and Western Wood-pewees are supposedly IDable by mandible colouration, but often it's unreliable.
