Quiscalus quiscula

It's hard to tell, it is giving me more Blackpoll vibes overall though. I'm a little cautious with this field mark though, as I think most warbler species have pale underside of feet that is sometimes visible.

My thoughts as well.

Yep!

Thanks! I appreciate the offer. I did notice that these photos are of a Red-winged Blackbird- perhaps you added them under the wrong species? https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/435485081 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/435485091

Unfortunately not. I found it online, usage rights were "free to share and use". The reason for the change was that I did want to change it to a grackle photo I finally got, but that photo was not high resolution to begin with, and because of whatbird's low file size requirements I had to compress it multiple times. Eventually it looked more like a blob than a bird. Afterwards I couldn't find the photo I had originally used to change it back, so I found another one. Hopefully I'll have better luck with photographing grackles in the future.

That makes more sense, definitely trust them more than me 😅 (I have very little experience with South American birds)

Yes to the tanager.

1. Southern Bentbill. 2. White-winged Becard.

Sounds like a Red-tailed Hawk.

Upon closer inspection, that's a Ring-necked Duck on the right.

Agreed, it's giving me kestrel vibes but it's hard to be sure.

I also hear a Catbird and some blackbirds.

What does MOB stand for?

I think that's another Yellow-crowned Tyrannulet.

Red Squirrel

Went out at sunrise to check for migrants. Ended up with more species than expected and several first of season and year, as well as plenty of mosquito bites. https://ebird.org/checklist/S150633216

Yes, Hermit Thrush with the reddish wings.

Today, Schenectady County, NY. vs. Sharpie? Apologies for the photo quality

I believe this is a Yellow-crowned Tyrannulet.

I saw that both of them looked the same while side by side, and this thread shows what they look like as juveniles: https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/common-tody-flycatcher-juvenile.701473/

From today. This is my only clearly identifiable shot of one, they are always hiding in brush!
