    Female or 2nd year male American Redstart. The yellow tail spots on the base of the tail is diagnostic
  2. Avery
    True, different subspecies (maybe species soon)
  3. Avery
    Seconding Warbling Vireo. They can get quite yellow!
  4. Avery
    Can’t really say why, but this strikes me as a Tricolor. Definitely not Great Blue, feels off for LBHE to me, but probably best left as a heron sp.

    Welcome to Whatbird @SpiritHawk, and to the world of birding!
  6. Avery
    Definitely Swainson’s with the buffy spectacles.
  7. Avery
    I swear you’ve posted photos of Barn Owls here before. Wrong topic, or am I losing my mind?
  8. Avery
    Pewee for me. No eyering, hint of a vest, long PP
  9. Avery
    I don’t see a reason to think it’s not a Blue form bird. Either way, it doesn’t show any mottling on the crown, and the plumes appear to be dark, though we would need better photos to be certain if that.

    100% a Kinglet. There is also a Wilson’s Warbler, I think
  11. Avery
    Yes, but what you circled is a horizontal stripe that is too far forward.
  12. Avery
    The spur on a GWTE is behind the head, and is vertical. Unless it’s an Eurasian, then the horizontal stripe is along the flanks. Even if that white isn’t reflection, as I think it is, it’s in the wrong location.

    Weird, the links up above brought me to different sound files. That’s why I couldn’t hear what @Quiscalus quiscula was hearing! These new files are not CHSP. Maybe Eastern Towhee?
  14. Avery
    I think you might be hearing a combination of songs from the “CHSP” , Song, Blackbird, and whatever the whistler is (too low for Titmouse, maybe BAOR). I’m having trouble hearing any rising high frequencies.
  15. Avery
    I agree, this is a Rock Wren. The undertail pattern and lack of barring on the underparts rules out House.
  16. Avery
    I don’t think this can be ID’d.
  17. Avery
    Agreed. Im not seeing enough to ID it. I don’t see the shoulder spur. I can’t rule out Gadwall or Wigeon
  18. Avery
    Can you give me a time where it occurs in either recording? The loudest song on both to me is just a single trill.
  19. Avery
    Oh, forgot about them…
  20. Avery
    It’s a female.
  21. Avery
    Can you find any similar examples on Macaulay? To me the first song is the rising portion of the GCKI song. The second is an odd song variation. Brown Creeper has a much sweeter song that lacks the rising portion at the beginning, instead starting with a trill.
  22. Avery
    Why isn’t it a Golden-crowed Kinglet?
  23. Avery
    They have a surprising repertoire of trills. Of the other trillers, DEJU is much more complex and higher pitched to me, Eastern Palm is super dry, PIWA is low and sweet. Plus it’s in a cemetery.
  24. Avery
    That was my thought too, but I wanted to sit on it. Coming back, I’m still for YBFL. It’s pretty compact
  25. Avery
    Chipping Sparrow for me.
