[shorebird?]

Thanks for the suggestions. It was pretty muddy, it was also quite distant and the photo is cropped, so shape could be distorted.

Adams County CO, last weekend. One larger shorebird amongst lots of Baird's Sandpipers and Killdeer. I have no idea. Legs did not appear yellow, Stilt maybe?

[Brown-capped Rosy Finch??]

Looks like it, thanks. I think of them as prairie birds but they can occur as high as timberline.

[Brown-capped Rosy Finch??]

Pike's Peak, below summit, yesterday

Known to nest on the summit, I have a few crappy photos of a bird that I thought at first was an American Pipit and it's definitely not a pipit. Could it be a young Rosy Finch? Yellow bill, grayish crown. It would be fabulous if it was, since the wind was far too strong for birding on the summit.

Thanks!

Thanks! I can usually pick them out, but this one had me stumped.

I was thinking Least, but I really don't know. Help is greatly appreciated.

 

[Which sandpiper?]

Thanks for the confirmation!

At first I thought it was a Solitary Sandpiper, but after studying my photos, I'm not sure. If not, Lesser Yellowlegs?

 

Thanks.

[What is this bird?]

This bird's still in juvenile plumage (all of the feather edges are nice and crisp, with very little sign of wear -- adults at the start of their fall plumage should be quite worn, and I don't see any molting which would indicate that it hasn't started it's first pre-basic molt either). At this point, telling male from female requires measurements. The orange on the lesser wing coverts actually doesn't tell us anything --all their plumages show some orange there when fresh.

Thanks. I've never seen a female with orange, so assumed it was a young male.

[Which Thrasher?]

Thanks! I saw many of them today but this one just looked different. Maybe it's the light.

[What is this bird?]

It's an immature male Red-winged Blackbird

El Paso County, CO today

Sage Thrasher? But I usually see them with a spotted breast, like a robin. Young Northern Mockingbird maybe?
