What's this shorebird
smittyone@cox.net replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks very much -
I assume it's a sandpiper. But which one? Shots are several years old, taken in August in western Iowa.

What kind of swallow?
smittyone@cox.net replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks guys -
They were seen in western Iowa in September 2017. I'm leaning toward some kind of flycatcher. But can you really determine Alder, Acadian, etc. at this stage? I think Eastern Wood Peewee is the most prevalent in this area. At least that's what I see the most.

Thank you -
Seen in May 2020 in western Iowa. There were Barn, Cliff, and Tree swallows all flying in the area at the time.

Pic was taken in September 2020 in eastern Iowa. I think this is a female (Myrtle) Yellow-rumped Warbler. I just needed a 2nd opinion.

Semi/Western? -
What's this Plover?
smittyone@cox.net replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Never mind. They both are. But is it a juvenile or non-breeding adult? -

Thanks blackburnian. Then what's this one? I've been calling it it a Semi-palmated. Same location, but in September 2015. -
Seen at DeSoto wildlife reserve waaay back in April 2021. There were sandpipers around, butt, he was the only plover that was there.

What's this large duck?
smittyone@cox.net replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Are the other two ducks in the lower pic "normal" Mallards? -
Photographed in Council Bluffs, Iowa, way back in November 2019. Maybe a domestic duck and Crested Duck hybrid? Intergrade?

What's this heron?
smittyone@cox.net replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Unfortunately this is the best photo I managed to get. It's heavily cropped, and was never in focus to begin with. The other shots of it are even more out of focus. -

Seen 2 weeks ago in NW Missouri. Could this be a Wurdemann's Great Blue Heron?

Glossy or White-faced Ibis?
smittyone@cox.net replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Dang it. Foiled again. -
Glossy or White-faced Ibis?
smittyone@cox.net replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
No pinkish red skin between the bill and the eye, eye appears black, not red, legs appear darkish, but not redish. That's why I'm still thinking Glossy. -

I didn't either. Apparently they only display it when there's a predator nearby and/or they feel threatened -

I'm sure you're right. I did photograph a Swainson's a few days earlier on the other side of the lake. What threw me was the Merlin App heard two different thrushes. Regrettably, I deleted that file, so can't recall what two thrushes were suggested by Merlin, but I definitely remember that Swainson's wasn't one of them.
