[Sparrow]

Bold eye-ring, pinkish bill, think this is a Field Sparrow? (Only a guess, looks better for Chipping?)

 

[Palm Warbler? Seneca Falls NY 9/17/23]

[Some sort of grouse? (Catskills of NY)]

I believe it's a blend of white (albino) and normal coloration of a Peahen (Common Peafowl). Peacocks are (or were) countable in some Southern Florida areas, and maybe in Southern CA? Pretty much anywhere else they are considered escaped domestic fowl.

[Gadwall & Ring-necked Ducks - distant shot Montezuma NWR NY 9/7/23]

Very distant & out-of-focus pic, think there is a Ring-necked Duck on the right & Gadwall on the left? (Ignore all the Coots & Pied-billed Grebes). Thanks.

[2 Lesser & 1 Greater Yellowlegs? Montezuma NWR NY 9/7/23]

Think the 2 on the left are both Lesser? (far right Greater Yellowlegs)?

[What Bird? Montezuma NWR NY 8/26/23]

First glance thought a Tree Swallow, but not sure what it is?

[Vireo & Warblers, Montezuma NWR NY 8/22/23]

Think first 2 pics Warbling Vireo? 2nd two pics Wilson's Warbler (faint eye-ring, bi-colored bill, faint trace of black on crown)? Last pic possibly Magnolia?

[Swallow & Sandpiper, Montezuma NWR NY 8/19/23]

Looking for an ID on these birds.

[Is this a Least Bittern?]

Agree with Green Heron.

[What sandpiper? Seneca Falls NY 8/19/23]

Not sure if identifiable pics?

[Unknown woodpecker]

Could it be a Hairy? Bill looks a little long for Downy?

[Fish Crow]

Side note; Fish Crows seem to be expanding North, getting fairly common in central NY. I would hesitate to ID either American or Fish Crow without hearing them (although Fish Crows are suppose to run slightly smaller than American Crows). The pic below was definitely a Fish Crow by it's call, taken in Seneca Falls NY this Spring.

[What Warbler? Sodus Point NY 8/11/23]

Was acting like a Common Yellowthroat in a wooded area (Beechwood State Park). Not up on my Fall warblers, thanks for the help.

[Sandpipers & Terns, Sodus Point NY 8/11/23]

Wondering if possible to ID these sandpipers and terns (note 2 sandpipers in first pic, one flying & the other on the right).

[Common Tern? Sodus Point NY 8/11/23]

Either Common or Forster's, either possible at this location? Would expect more gray underneath on a Common Tern?

[Brilliant red-bellied bird Central Texas 78070]

Okay, next guess: Painted Redstart? I had one North of McAllen a few years ago.

[Brilliant red-bellied bird Central Texas 78070]

Vermillion Flycatcher with back in shadow?

[Is this a Carolina Wren?]

Strikes me as Bewick's due to pale underneath, but I'm more familiar with Northern Carolina Wrens than Bewick's or Mexican subspecies.

[Shore Birds Maine Salt Marsh]

Large bird is a Willet, the peeps look like Least Sandpipers, but may have something else in the group pic?

[Confirm Least Bittern at Montezuma NWR NY 7/26/23?]

Thanks all, I had ruled out anything else other than Green Heron (of which I had several in the same location, only they were much more cooperative to photograph as you can see here) 🙂

[Confirm Least Bittern at Montezuma NWR NY 7/26/23?]

Very distant pics, hoping to confirm ID. Had several in the cattails about 1/4 mile away.

[Dowitchers at Montezuma NWR NY 7/24/23]

Wondering if it's possible to ID these Dowitchers from these pics. Are they Short or Long-billed & Adult or juvenile? Thanks.

[Common Gallinule chick? Montezuma NWR NY 7/19/23]

[What Tern? Montezuma NWR NY 7/11/23]

Has 2 smaller terns with a group of Caspian's, not sure if possible to ID from these pics (very distant).

[Ebird Plover Question]

Thanks, other birders at the location were debating BBPL vs. AMGP. I think the general opinion was BBPL, but I debated on the ID before I had submitted it. (Much easier when they are in breeding plumage!)
