Long-tailed Duck juvenile?
flightman replied to flightman's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks, Looking through my photos, I found a pair of LTDUs from 3 years ago this month but the female had quite a bit more brown than this one. -
I saw this bird swimming with a Greater Scaup and several Black Scoters this morning at Jones Beach State Park, NY. Only the cheek patch really makes me think it is a juvenile Long-tailed Duck, and perhaps the bill. Birds of the World says about the bill, "In hatchlings, dark gray to bluish gray."

Thanks, They're nesting right in that area but it didn't occur to me.

I took these 2 photo about 1 1/2 hours apart this morning at Hempstead Lake State Park, NY. The second one is particularly poor. Are these both Prarie Warblers?

Flycatcher or warbler?

The previous ones I saw were at about eye level but this one was actually higher than it might appear. I was quite a distance back so that i was shooting up at a relatively shallow angle. -
Flycatcher or warbler?

Thanks Caley and Tanager 101, I've seen them before but this one looked a little more colorful. -
Another bird confused me today in Hempstead NY. I thought it was a Blue-headed Vireo but it has eye rings without spectacles and only a very pale yellowish wash on the undersides, rather than yellow on the flanks. I also notice that the underside of the tail is white and I couldn't find a flycatcher that matches it. Is it a warbler?

Warbler/Flycatcher/Vireo?
flightman replied to flightman's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks Tanager 101 and IKLland, I know what Warbling Vireos sound like and heard them several times today but never got a good look at one and wasn't sure about this one. -
I couldn't get a good shot of this bird today in Hempstead NY. It appears to have a noticeable eye ring, no wingbars, and pale yellow undersides; a combination that has me stumped. I don't even know if it is a warbler, vireo, or flycatcher (or something else).

Traill's Flycatcher?

Thanks, The peaked head should also have given me a clue. -
I saw this bird yesterday at Jones Beach State Park, NY. Is it a Traill's Flycatcher?

Thanks. Lifer for me.

I saw this bird today at Jones Beach State Park, NY and I don't recognize it. Could it be a Blue-headed Vireo?
