I'm looking for some help to ID this finch. Taken yesterday in Parry Sound District, Ontario. House finch would be rare at this location. But going back and forth between that and Purple Finch. Thanks.

Taken May 28, Parry Sound District, Ontario, CA. Thanks for the input.

Taken this morning, Parry Sound District, Ontario Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts based on these bad pics (one has been slightly darkened). 3 birds flew over me today. Listened closely for honking or trumpeting but calls sounded softer making me think tundra but I cannot be 100%. Tundra and Trumpeter are rare but more so Tundra. Thanks.

Yes, definitely Greater Yellowlegs. Bill is longer than head width and slightly upturned.

These are 3 different sets of pictures and I am wondering if there is a Hoary Redpoll here. The first 2 pictures were taken on Nov. 12 in Parry Sound District, Ontario. I am wondering about the bird on the top right in the first pic, which moves to the bottom in the second pic. The third pic was taken in York Region, Ontario on Nov. 18 The rest of the pics were taken Nov. 25 in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The first picture of this set is a Common (and most others looked like this) but the bird in the last 3 pics looked paler, slightly larger and definitely stood out when all the redpolls took flight together. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Seen today in Parry Sound district, Ontario, CA. Ruby Throated or something more rare? Thanks

Thanks, thought it was just wanted to confirm.

Taken today, Parry Sound District, ON. Canada. Sorry for the bad pics but any idea what this could be. My guess is Red shouldered Hawk? Thank you.

Thanks for confirmation, it was my original ID

Thank you! I believe 1 and 3 are confirmed! My initial thought was the same for 2 but I cannot find a species that matches. 4 has a crossed bill and seems glossy and appears out of range for the Chinese Blackbird. I will keep searching for 2, 4 & 5. Thanks again!

OK, thank you.

Thank you for your post. Although 1 is compelling for a Sardinian Warbler, I have yet to find any records of one occurring in Burma and the species does not show up, not even as a rare bird on Ebird. For #2, I could not find any species with this name anywhere. The closest I found was the Rusty-fronted Tody Flycatcher in South America. 3 does look like Helmeted Guineafowl but they are native to Africa so they are obviously domesticated. If you could give more detail for 1 & 2 as to the reasons why this is what you think, that would be great. Thanks for your help.
