What kind of flycatcher?
smittyone@cox.net replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
So Alder and Willow can only be distinguished by their calls, correct? -
Updating my archives and found this flycatcher I've never posted. Shots were taken in May 2021 at DeSoto NWR near Missouri Valley, IA. I only have side profile pics.

White-faced Ibis question
smittyone@cox.net posted a topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Seen last week in Loess Bluffs NWR, NW Missouri. Both White-faced and Glossy Ibis have been reported here this Spring. I believe the bird with it's wings raised is a White-faced based on the reddish skin ahead of it's reddish eyes. In other pics of this same bird, the legs are pinkish-red. The others in the photo are clearly breeding adult White-faced Ibis. My question regarding the bird with it's wings raised--is this a non-breeding adult, or an immature bird? I believe I read somewhere that adults can lose the white stripe around the eye as they get older. -

Is this a Goshawk?
smittyone@cox.net replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Well that's too bad. But thanks for the ID, and the reasons for it. I appreciate it. -
Seen today in NW Missouri. I initially thought it might be a Sharp-shinned hawk, but noticed the tiny bill. Could this be an immature Northern Goshawk? If so, it'd be a lifer for me.

Seen yesterday afternoon in Council Bluffs, IA. I'm pretty sure these are (Western) Willets, but just wanted to make sure.

Photographed yesterday at Loess Bluffs NWR in NW Missouri. Assuming both of these birds are Yellowlegs, is this a good example of size comparison? Greater in the background, and Lesser in the foreground.

Godwit?

Thank you -
Seen today in NW Missouri. Is this bird an Immature White-faced Ibis, or a Glossy Ibis. I think I can pick out the adult White-faced ones pretty well, but this one is different.

Seen today in NW Missouri. Is this bird next to the Blue-winged Teal a Godwit? If so, is it a Hudsonian or Marbled?

Great Blue Heron returning from Home Depot with more lumber for the nest renovations. I've never shied away from the unconventional angle. -
