[White-rumped & Short-billed? Montezuma NWR NY 8/26/22]

Thinking white-rumped sandpipers (first 2 pics), Short-billed Dowitcher & WRSP (2nd 2 pics)?

[Montezuma NWR NY Sandpipers]

I took about 15 pics - all basically identical, with head tucked in. Here are a couple more.

[Zach]

I'd lean towards Acadian, we have a few around NY nesting each year (Central/Western regions). The eye-ring does make me think more of a Least though.

[Montezuma NWR NY Sandpipers]

Taken 8/18/22 at Montezuma NWR NY. Think the 2 on the left are Least, not sure about the 2 on the right.

[Savannah NY 8/11/22 - Least Flycatcher?]

That's what I was thinking, but Merlin sound ID came up with Least Flycatcher twice (no other birds were nearby). (?) I could have ID'd it's regular call, but it was just making the little pwit/pit call.

[Savannah NY 8/11/22 - Least Flycatcher?]

Merlin app ID'd it by it's "chip" call as a Least?

[Ultimate test of skill for a Marsh Bird, and a Vireo.]

Thanks, I had 2 Least Bitterns (or saw the same one twice) nearby the day before and someone else reported 1 that day. Fortunately the others were a little more cooperative. ?

[Ultimate test of skill for a Marsh Bird, and a Vireo.]

Taken 7/30/22 near Savannah NY, had this mid-sized bird jump up into the cattails before getting a good look at it. Guess it's about Coot/Gallinule size, last pic is of it's foot as it leapt or flew deeper into marsh. Other bird possibly Warbling Vireo?

[Cliff or Barn Swallow?]

Both birds? (first pic was of a different bird).

 

[Cliff or Barn Swallow?]

Taken in Seneca Falls NY on 7/28/22. First pic is of a different bird than the other 2 pics.

[Is this a crow or raven?]

Don't think it's possible to be sure, but from general size of the bird, I would lean towards crow.

[Juvenile sparrow]

Pretty sure this is a song sparrow.

[Which sparrow? Central NY State 7/16/22]

Not sure if this is a juvenile or which sparrow (Swamp?)

[Which juvenile thrush? 7/16/22]

I was hearing one nearby.

[Which juvenile thrush? 7/16/22]

Taken in central NY State (Montezuma NWR), not sure which thrush this is.

[Baltimore or Orchard? Auburn NY 7/15/22]

Two more pics, but not much different from original.

[Black-Crowned Night Heron]

Yes, Black-crowned. Yellow-crowned would be much more rare & have a darker bill.

[Baltimore or Orchard? Auburn NY 7/15/22]

Seems to yellow for a female Baltimore Oriole, possible Orchard?

[Gull ID]

Herring Gulls (juvenile & adult)? (far from expert, wait for other input).

[Sandpiper, central NY (Montezuma NWR) 7/8/22]

Seen with a group of 10 Solitary (oxymoron?), Least, & a Lesser Yellowlegs.

[Black Tern Juvenile? central NY state 5/25/22.]

[Bobolink? central NY state 6/25/22]

Thought this was a female/juvenile Bobolink, but colors seem off? (Poor, backlight photos).

[Help with bird ID in North Central Montana]

Also fairly bold/complete eye-ring looks good for Least (but I'm not familiar with Western Flycatchers).

[No idea. Central NY State 5/21/22.]

Thanks, painted buntings (I've seen many down south/out west) would be very rare. There were both Indigo Buntings & House Finches, along with about 50 other species at this one spot. Just thought I'd try for an ID ?

[greyish bird with eyeliner ! Pint Pelee, Ontario, last weekend]

Looks like a White-breasted Nuthatch? Can't explain the eye-line.
