Captured this pretty bird in a Nature area marsh land in the Williamette Valley Oregon in afternoon of May 25, 2022. It is half the size of a bluejay.

Thank you all for your replies and help.

William Finley National Wildlife Refuge, south of Corvallis, Oregon. Time about midday. Please help identify. Is it a red-breasted nuthatch?

Or is it a bittern?

Is this a crane?

Thank you for identifying this grosbeak for me. Very helpful!

Photos taken May 30, 2021 at Finley National Wildlife Refuge, about 14 miles south of Corvallis, Oregon. I thank you in advance if you can help identify it for me.

Corvallis, Oregon

I thought they were blackbirds, then I saw the blueish tint to the nap of the neck, down the back, wings and tail feathers. Just one of two that I assume were mates.

Thank you for your replies and help on identifying this fledgling tree swallow.

This bird appeared to be nesting in the housing provided at Bald Hill Natural Area near Corvallis, Oregon. Photos taken July 23, 2020. Sorry I don't have better photos, but I am very curious. Can anyone help? See photos attached. Thank you in advance.

I apologize for the poorer quality image, but this guy was chirping and moving through the reeds at Sunset Park, Corvallis Oregon about 9:15am in the morning. I had previously asked about a larger bird that this forum identified as a Green Heron and wondered if this was a younger one. The beak has a little curvature and I couldn't tell exactly what the feet looked like, but here is the image anyway. Any help on identifying this beautiful bird will be appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you for replying and identifying. It didn't look like its legs were long enough to be a heron to me. However, it was in the water so harder to tell, and also maybe proportionate to the species. I'm a newbie, and hadn't seen one before. Thanks again!

Thank you very much. I just have never seen a cinnamon teal personally and the markings were unusual for me. :) Thanks again! Rick
