Thanks! I was thinking red-tailed, but I wanted to double check since I couldn't actually see a red tail!
-
Hi guys, I saw plenty of birds along the highway while driving through Kansas a few weeks ago. I managed to snap a couple pictures (I wasn't driving!) - one hawk, and one power line bird; maybe a meadowlark?
-
That's what I thought too. Thanks!
-
It wouldn't be Least, would it?
-
Also from the Florida Panhandle a few weeks ago. I think I can see a little bit of yellow on the tip of the beak, but I'm not sure. Sandwich Tern?
-
I thought it was a goldfish cracker at first, but looking back through my pictures it was definitely a Cheez-it; note the diagnostic ridges on the edge and richer coloration.
-
Seen in the Florida panhandle a few weeks ago. A fearsome hunter of Cheez-its.

So I was in Florida a few weeks ago, in the panhandle. I saw a lot of gulls. With the location, the time of year, and the fact that gulls can have so many different forms of plumage, can I assume that most of the gulls I saw, if not all of them, are laughing gulls?
-
Thanks, I didn't know that! I've only ever seen them around streetlamps 😄 and @Seanbirds I gotta keep you guys on your toes!
-
Laughing at me? 🤔 Lol thanks!
-
Thanks! What was it doing at three in the afternoon hanging out in the road?
-
Willet maybe? It was big, almost the size of the seagulls it was standing next to. Also, what gulls are these? This was in Florida a few days ago.
-
In the panhandle, near Destin.

I was just in Florida a few days ago and I saw these grayish birds with white wing bars flying around. I wanted to say they were nighthawks, but they looked too big, and I saw them in the middle of the day. One of them was foraging on a road by the beach.
-
Seen this morning in Florida.
-
White-rumped! Awesome, thanks!
-
I saw this sandpiper in central KY last summer. I think I posted it then, but the other sandpipers took the attention and I don't think this guy was ever decided on, so I'll repost him separately. Baird's maybe? Or Spotted? I think Baird's had been mentioned, but that would be a rarity here. I included the original and a brightened version.
-
So these are all juveniles then? Wow, thanks for the help!
-
All of them?! Wow, there was a lot of variation between these guys and the others I saw with super red tails. What are the diagnostic field markings?
-
Seen in central KY a few days ago. I saw red-tailed hawks, but these guys don't have red tails. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Indigo Bunting or Blue Grosbeak?
zbird replied to zbird's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks, that's what I figured, but I was holding out hope for a grosbeak! -
I was going through old pictures and these two threw me for a loop. I initially identified them as INBUs, but could either or both be grosbeaks? This is from central KY last summer.
-
Thanks! Seems like Semipalmated and Pectoral should always be my go-to guesses for northern Alaskan sandpipers.
-
Every time I see a sandpiper I guess Semipalmated. Northern AK a few weeks ago. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Last ID - saw all these gulls in Anchorage a few days ago. Not sure what they are; I'm bad at gull IDs. There were a lot of gulls flying around downtown and calling.
