[Mystery Bird]

Seconded

[Dinner Time]

common tern, Walvis Bay

sunbird sp., Windhoek

 

[Not just the bird - setting, lighting etc.]

A ruckus under the acacias (Violet/Green Woodhoopoes)

[Garden Coast South Africa]

I love seeing African birds here--it gives me something to actually answer. Yes, this bird looks very good for a Southern Grey Headed Sparrow as mentioned above

[Ensenada, Mexico - Western Gulls]

Hi,

These were taken at the Port of Ensenada in Baja. I know I'm looking at some western gulls, but is there anything else pictured?

 

--many thanks!

[Bermuda Petrel]

Okay, North American birds aren't my specialty but let me just throw out Northern Gannet. I also struggle to see this as a gull but think the Gannet might match the OP's description a bit better than a petrel.

[Bird 2 in Botswana]

Yes, green-winged Pytilia

[Bird in Okavango Delta of Botswana]

This is a female Village Weaver with that dark bill and red eye.

[South African Bird]

Agreed--I think we can be reasonably confident that this is a Hooded Vulture. Even backlit to hell, a Cape Griffon shouldn't be that dark. Then, when you factor it the long curved bill, I'm comfortable calling this as Hooded.

[raptor bird in southern Africa part 2]

Yes, this is certainly an immature Bateleur

[Bird in Botswana]

Jumping into the threat after a long time. This is a female/non-breeding Southern Masked Weaver

[Uganda - Murchison Falls Area - What Bird is this (6)?]

Agree with Northern Red.

[Puffed Up Gray Bird in South Africa]

Definitely a Cape Wagtail!

[Coastal East Africa]

Agree with the other comments: I think your drab birds are Swainson's/Parrot-billed Sparrows. Though the bill in the middle picture is throwing me a bit...it has a fiscal quality that I can't quite place.

[Arctic/Common Tern in Namibia]

Hi everyone,

Walvis Bay, Namibia: Last Week

I don't have much experience with Palearctic terns, but hopefully someone on this forum can help. I think this bird is an Arctic Tern (Common Tern being the only other viable option) due to the white rump and underwing pattern. They are in range in Walvis Bay, but rare (probably under-reported as Common Terns) so I'd like to get some opinions before posting it to eBird

many thanks!

[Duck or Goose]

This looks to be a domestic variety of a Muscovy Duck, perhaps with some other duck genes in the mix

[Zimbabwe - Black bird]

I don't really know Zim birds, but I've seen a lot of FTDRs. I'm not getting that vibe here. I agree with Trevor L. that the Southern Black Flycatcher is the best match, but would probably ultimately leave it unidentified.

[American Black Duck?]

Are both of these Black Ducks?

[American Black Duck?]

or just MALL?

Seen in Newfoundland, Canada in September.

Two individuals pictured.

 

[Is this an Egyptian Goose?]

No, I can't confirm an ID, but I can say it's not an Egyptian Goose. The colors aren't right, plus it's missing the classic eye ring and the bulky size.

[Cormorants- San Diego]

I'm going through some old photos and found these blurry west coast cormorants. Are they identifiable and all the same species?

 

[Anyone Know Canaries?]

thanks for the advice, I didn't know about  Bird Forums

[Anyone Know Canaries?]

Namibia - March, grassy, thorny area.

 

1 & 2 (same bird) might be a black-throated canary (more photos available)

#3 Might be a yellow canary? Or could be an immature weaver?

The best I can do on #4 is passer sp.

[What TN Bird is This?]

Looks like an Osprey to me
