Dark & distant shots, Central NY State 10/23/21.
MWM replied to MWM's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Which pic are you referring too? (at least 4 different birds pictured). Purple Martin would be very unusual this late (but not unheard of). I think pics 2, 5, & 6 are all the same species. -
I'm a little confused, I thought Chipping didn't have any streaking on the sides or breast?

2 more sparrows (Central NY 10/15/21)
MWM replied to MWM's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I was wondering about #1 being a possible juvy WC Sparrow, but I've never seen a Savannah with that much yellow on the face. Of course all 4 species were present at this location, making it harder to eliminate anything. Here's another view of the 2nd sparrow, and the notched tail does point to Savannah. Thanks. -

Trying to verify, think this is A Savannah Sparrow & Sharp-shinned Hawk. Taken in Central NY on 10/15/21.

2nd winter Herring Gull? Central NY State 10/10/21
MWM replied to MWM's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Anything except Herring, Great Black-backed, or Ring-billed would be uncommon. Was looking to confirm before entering into ebird (Gull sp. it is ? ). -
Not sure what this is, but the bill & wing bars seem to rule out warbler?

Hybrid duck? & shorebirds (NYS) 10/9/21
MWM replied to MWM's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks all. (peeps fooled me, thought the ones in back looked larger). -
Hybrid duck? & shorebirds (NYS) 10/9/21
MWM posted a topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Taken 10/9/21 at Montezuma NWR (central NY state). Think the duck is a hybrid? Guessing Sanderlings (with a possible Semipalmated?) on the sandpipers. -

Sorry about the very poor quality of this pic (about 1/2 mile away). Wondering if possible to ID from wing pattern?
-
I'm going with Pectoral - later found out the "sharp-tail" sighting was a mistaken ID.

Taken at Montezuma NWR in New York State, not sure on the ID. Assumed it's a Pectoral, but Sharp-tailed was reported there.

Connecticut or just Common Yellowthroat?
MWM replied to dpinkerton's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I'm far from expert, but with the yellowish throat & chest, I'd say Common Yellowthroat. (Looks like the bird I just posted, only a much clearer pic than mine). -
Which Dowitcher? Central NY 9/11/21
MWM replied to MWM's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks for trying, I did have long-billed nearby, just thought I'd see if this was the same. Was lucky enough to find a pair of red-necked phalaropes next to this guy. -
Taken in central NY State (Montezuma NWR) on 9/11/21. Only shot I got, out of focus. Any way to ID? Thanks.

Fall Warblers Central NYS 9/2/21
MWM replied to MWM's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Question on #5, it was in a field of goldenrod/brush giving chipping calls. I thought it was a wren or sparrow. Here are a couple more pics. -
Fall Warblers Central NYS 9/2/21
MWM replied to MWM's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks, I was only there from 5 PM to 7 PM (Beechwood State Park), turned out better than I expected. I was thinking Blue Jay but the throat looked black in that pic. I'm pretty sure the last one was a hooded, it took off before I could get a good shot of it. -
Pics taken 9/2/21 near Sodus Point NY (central New York). Several Warblers and a couple others I can't ID. Also had Magnolia, BT Green, Red-eyed Vireo, Willow? Flycatcher, Eastern Phoebe, Eastern Wood-Pewee, and Hooded Warblers in the same area. Sorry for poor quality, very dark, overcast conditions.
