    There are also brighter and drabber individual females, where I live the females are pretty bright.
  2. Quiscalus quiscula
    You mean juvenile male, right? Because otherwise this looks like a female.
  3. Quiscalus quiscula
    Except only slightly duller and smaller.
  4. Quiscalus quiscula
    Female common grackles are identical to male common grackles.
  5. Quiscalus quiscula
    Almost thought american black duck, but rare in texas. Now I think green-winged teal looks best, but usually only a winter visitor in the area. I'm confused.
  6. Quiscalus quiscula
    Then almost certainly Herring.
  7. Quiscalus quiscula
    Actually maybe more western?
  8. Quiscalus quiscula
    Yes, that was my main criterion. Male mallards have bright yellow bills, and female mallards have orange bills with a central black splotch.
  9. Quiscalus quiscula
    Pretty sure this is an almost mature herring gull. Everything looks right for mature herring, except for the bit of dusky streaking on the head left from immature. Generally I'm pretty good at gull ids.
  10. Quiscalus quiscula
    Whatever it is, probably not mallard.
  11. Quiscalus quiscula
    My first thought too, but a female rose-breasted would not be described as little, as these birds are relatively large.
  12. Quiscalus quiscula
    Most likely.
  13. Quiscalus quiscula
    I'd still say hammond's as well. Tail length definitely wrong for pewee.
  14. Quiscalus quiscula
    There are twenty-eight ebird reports of white-throated swift from colusa county.
  15. Quiscalus quiscula
    My best guess is white-throated swallow, maybe look at that, as the white-throated has a white rump.
  16. Quiscalus quiscula
    True. Although there are a lot of wild turkeys where i live.
  17. Quiscalus quiscula
    Only two reports of western wood-pewee in virginia from ebird. Eastern wood-pewee looks right.
  18. Quiscalus quiscula
    Almost thinking black-and-white warbler..
  19. Quiscalus quiscula
    I really got into birding a year or so ago, but joined ebird later. I try to keep up to date on bird taxonomy, but tend to focus less on game birds.
  20. Quiscalus quiscula
    Okay, interesting. Bird taxonomy is a bit of a headache.
  21. Quiscalus quiscula
    Yep, orchard oriole. One of my summer targets, as these birds are not as common as baltimores.
  22. Quiscalus quiscula
    True. Still, better identified by voice.
  23. Quiscalus quiscula
    Wasn't previously aware that the prairie-chickens were renamed as grouse. I have a pretty out-dated field guide.
  24. Quiscalus quiscula
    Too bad!
  25. Quiscalus quiscula
    Knew about that but had trouble seeing the blue... Thanks.
