How are we eliminating Oak Titmouse?

The crest feathers can be missing often, especially at this time of year. I saw a TUTI without a credit this morning!

GISS, long tail. 

[Bad photo--Coccyzus sp?]

How large was it?

[Bird in flight]

Either a Wrentit or a Bushtit, wait for the westerners. I think it's a Bushtit though.

[Question]

Female/immature male Common Yellowthroat.

oddly, no EUSP). 

European Storm-Petrel would be quite unusual away from the immediate coast- did you mean European Starling (EUST)?

The spots on a Wood Thrush are much bolder. I would guess Swainson's Thrush here.

Black-billed Cuckoo, photo conditions were far from ideal.

Northern Rough-winged Swallow and Great Crested Flycatcher.

At least nine Snapping Turtles along the river bike path laying eggs.

A pleasant morning stroll along the river yielded a good variety of species. I finally saw a Black-billed Cuckoo, which I'd only heard before. The usually secretive Great Crested Flycatcher also came out.

Thoughts appreciated.

Anyone would chase rarities. You might be a birder if you'd chase a House Spartow just to get pictures of it.

The House Sparrows I see are really uncooperative for photos! I usually just give up since I have other birds to see.
