Thanks! Is there a characteristic that stands out that would eliminate the female bay-breasted warbler? I also thought that looked like a potential match...

Please help identify this small bird. It was captured on the Bruce Peninsula Aug. 29 at 9:30 a.m. At first I thought Nashville Warbler but I'm seeing some orange on the sides of the throat which made me think Parula... Picture quality is obviously not great. These guys are too fast for me to get a great shot! Thanks for your help!

Please help me identify this bird. It was spotted in the cedars on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada around 10 am. Thanks!

I was taking some nice pictures of songbirds when this beautiful creature scared them all away. I have been wondering if it is a sharp-shinned or a coopers? I took a measuring tape to the spot where he landed on the chain-link fence and I estimate he is around 13-15" from tip to tail. Even though there were birds everywhere he did not catch any. He came face to face with a squirrel and did not attempt to kill it even though the squirrel was frozen like a deer in the headlights, so I think that prey was too big for him. Time of day was 11:30 am in London, Ontario, Canada. Thanks in advance for your help with this ID.

Hi everyone! I shot this photo yesterday at Fanshawe Lake near London, Ontario, Canada. When I shot the photo, I thought it was a warbler - never staying on one branch for more than 0.5 seconds. Now that I am looking at the image on the computer it reminds me more of a junior rose-breasted grosbeak. But I am not sure. Second guesses would be juvenile female indigo bunting or house finch but I don't think those are right either. Maybe I just need a hint to put me in the right direction. ?

I agree. -
Wow! You are so knowledgeable. Thank-you for the ID!

I saw this warbler around noon on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. At first I thought it was a Nashville Warbler but now I am leaning toward an Orange-Crowned Warbler due to the broken eye-ring and olive colour on top. Sorry, the pictures are are not the greatest.

Song, Lincoln, or other sparrow?

Is this another song sparrow or did I spot something different this time? I was thinking it might be a Lincoln's... This was sighted in a farmer's field around noon on the Bruce Peninsula (near Lion's Head) in Ontario, Canada. Thanks!

Sorry, I forgot the location details. We are on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada and there ARE a lot of Juncos here.
