  1. The Bird Nuts started following black capped or carolina chickadee? Indiana, Juvenile Coopers or Sharp-Shinned, red tailed hawk? and and 7 others
  2. The Bird Nuts
    Yes to Cooper's for the reasons you gave. It's just too bulky for a Sharpie.

    red tailed hawk?

    The Bird Nuts replied to Kevin's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Yep, looks good for a lightly-marked Red-tailed. I can barely see a faint band of streaks around its belly.
  4. The Bird Nuts

    New backyard bird

    The Bird Nuts replied to Nancy's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Agreed!

    Help with Hawk ID

    The Bird Nuts replied to Boyd's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Jerry Friedman is correct! I couldn't have explained it better.
  6. The Bird Nuts

    New bird for me

    The Bird Nuts replied to Mark's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Appears to be an American Goldfinch.
  7. The Bird Nuts

    Help ID potential hybrid - Colorado

    The Bird Nuts replied to hydrospheric's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Looks like a juvenile Dark-eyed Junco to me.

    Backyard Accipiter id

    The Bird Nuts replied to Bee_ keeper's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Yes, that adult one is a Sharp-shinned as well.
  9. The Bird Nuts

    Chipping Sparrow ??

    The Bird Nuts replied to Boyd's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Immature White-crowned thirded. Chipping Sparrows don't have yellow beaks and their orange crowns are more extensive.
  10. The Bird Nuts

    House or Purple?

    The Bird Nuts replied to cavan wood's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    House Finch (white wingbar, curved culmen, brown flank streaking, no purple hue).

    The Bird Nuts replied to Bee_ keeper's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    I'd go with Sharp-shinned for #2 as well. The blotchy orange breast streaking also supports Sharpie.
  12. The Bird Nuts
    I only have experience with Black-capped, but I agree with sanderling that it looks like it has characteristics of both species (clean bib, but extensive buff color), so I'm leaning toward hybrid.
  13. The Bird Nuts

    Gull

    The Bird Nuts replied to Jabird's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Young Lesser Black-backs have pink legs and feet, as do many other young gulls.
  14. The Bird Nuts

    Confirm Juvenile Bald Eagle

    The Bird Nuts replied to Rgoodwin's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Did you mean to agree that it looks like it's two years old (in its third year)?
  15. The Bird Nuts

    Are these Purple Finches?

    The Bird Nuts replied to birdchaser's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    Agreed! Also notice the raspberry-colored wingbars and streaking on the flanks of the male.

    Help Id hawk

    The Bird Nuts replied to Debbie's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird

    I agree with Rough-legged Hawk. Besides the light head you noted, the small beak, shorter, more compact body, and solid belly band also point to Rough-legged.
