Eastern Towhee

I failed today. Wasn't even aware of this bird until I looked up the code after losing.

Green-winged Teal

I can't make out enough to ID the prey, but I'd think a bat would be a bigger mouthful than this. I also see what looks like thin appendages that are too small for bat's wings and too long for bat legs. I could be wrong, but I just can't see it as a bat.

Hey!!! That's my perch.

The website went through an upgrade(?) of sorts and some of us have had trouble afterwards. I suggest trying to clear your cache and cookies on whatever device(s) you're using, that was the solution for my problems, which sound a lot like yours.

Wild Turkey

The bird appears to be smaller than the branch it's on, which suggest to me that it's either a smaller bird, or that branch is a lot bigger than it looks.

I usually start with the iBird index and if I can't put a usable code together on my own, then I will punch the letters I've already figured out into iBird's Banding Code search and see if anything pops up. I seldom look at lists beyond iBird unless I'm really confused, or the answer isn't in iBird.

I couldn't find it in my usual references but I did find it on this list, and it's not what I originally thought it was. https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/manual/speclist.cfm

I guess that's another reason I shouldn't be using my phone to access Whatbird, I can't tell the difference between a smiley face and an angry face.

I'm not sure that's something I'd be bragging about. I'd stick with being younger than @Bird Brain if I were you.

Nice photos @Michelle Summers but the idea is to pick just one photo. As hard as that might be, it's a challenge we all have to deal with. I refer you to the quote below, which is attached to the top of each page in this thread. "Thanks for only posting one photo, despite having many you would like to!"

Don't forget to put @SirVive's birthday back the way it was. I'd hate to see him miss out on his real birthday wishes.

Ummm, those are just suggested guidelines, right? *prefers young at heart over immature*

I THINK this is a rather drab adult female Cardinal. Juvenile Cardinals have a darker beak that changes to orangey red with maturity. From what I understand, it takes months to transition from the dark beak to the colourful orangey red beak, but I THINK that's how to tell the immature birds from the adults. I am not certain about that so take what I say with a grain of salt.
