Red-eyed vs. Philadelphia?
lonestranger replied to Bitzgirl7's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I believe the red eye visible in the second and third photos rules out the possibility of your vireo being anything other than a Red-eyed Vireo, @Bitzgirl7. I believe the red eye is unique to the Red-eyed Vireo, which might help you distinguish it from the other vireos, when you can see it. Keep in mind that it doesn't always look red, so you'll need other field marks to look for as well, and someone else to explain them. Makes note to check dates when I fall behind in forums. -
What kind of bird is this?
lonestranger replied to Teresa's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
For what it's worth, I can see the photo in the first post. -

Missouri flycatchers
lonestranger replied to belliott's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
"Bump" is just one of many ways to bring attention to a post that may have slipped past the few members that are more competent with certain species than the rest of us. The Bump, or any comment, will put an old post to the top of the list again. Many of the views you noticed are from members llike me who are looking to learn from someone else's photos, but might not have learned enough to offer any assistance. It's also possible that some members see an unfamiliar link and are hesitant to click on it. Your post might be getting lots of views but some of us might not actually see the photo because we're cautious of what we download, or at least try to be. If you can upload your photos directly to Whatbird, you'll probably get more feedback. -
Willow Flycatcher?
lonestranger replied to dpinkerton's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I should have looked in iBird before I added the edit. The peak shape I was referring to is called a small crest in the guide. Either way, wouldn't an Eastern Wood-Pewee have a different head shape, or is the small crest hidden in the photos? -
Willow Flycatcher?

Don't Pewees typically have a more peaked head? Edit- Peaked meaning head shaped higher at the back of the head, not crested feathers creating a peak. -
Hummingbird in Arizona
lonestranger replied to GracesWarbler's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Throat colour might not be that useful when it comes to female hummingbirds. I'm not sure about this, but I THINK tail feathers are key to separating some of the look-a-like hummingbirds. @DLecy might be able to help you out and tell you what to look for. -
I THINK it was Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, or was that the day before?

Turkey Vulture was my first impression but I'm on my cell phone and can't see enough detail to go beyond that first impression and gut feelings.

Upstate New York Duck ID needed
lonestranger replied to dragon49's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I believe these are Domestic Mallards. -

I wonder if the message added to this discussion, the one that suggests checking notification settings for changes after the update, should be added somewhere other than just this thread. I fear that the message will be hidden by pages of ID requests long before some people get the chance to see it. @Aveschapines @Kevin Never mind. I realize it's been pinned in place. Another easily confused moment on my part.

Share Your Best Photo of the Day
lonestranger replied to bearcat6's topic in Photo Sharing and Discussion
Very nice capture. π -
Do you mind sharing which specific lens you're referring to? I'm not currently shopping but I've been disappointed with macro lens performance in the past and don't want to make the same mistake in the mirrorless format.

I missed your opening post and jumped right to the last post when you relocated the discussion @Aveschapines. That explains my original confusion which is now taken care of. I'd still like to know how to follow a topic, or how to look to see IF I am following something on my phone. If anyone has the patience to explain something I'll probably never have to check again until the next update, I'd appreciate it.

Since it appears that I may have unknowingly followed a thread, can someone please tell how to follow a thread on Android cell phone using Safari as the browser. Using this thread as an example, how would I go about following it. Knowing how it's done might prevent me from unknowingly doing it again.
