    Yep, Chipping Sparrow. Face pattern is too bold and the bill is too small for a House Sparrow.
  2. The Bird Nuts
    Yeah, they're regular in Vermont. I see them more in the neighboring county. This is the earliest I've seen one.
  3. The Bird Nuts
    We had a lonely Snow Bunting on our driveway today. 🤔

    WB Nutty
  5. The Bird Nuts
    Same! 😆
  6. The Bird Nuts
    It's preening.
  7. The Bird Nuts
    Yes, White-throated Sparrow.
  8. The Bird Nuts
    Yes to young Cooper's Hawk. I think the fluffy undertail coverts are making the tail look shorter.
  9. The Bird Nuts
    INBU seconded.

    Birding dreams are common for me, but I don't remember them very well. I think one time I dreamt that my yard was flooded (ten or so feet deep) and I saw a King Eider floating on the water from my second floor deck. 🤣
  11. The Bird Nuts
    Ah, okay. I've never noticed that. It's kind of difficult to see the colors and values in these photos, though.
  12. The Bird Nuts
    Juveniles are actually darker, especially on the breast.
  13. The Bird Nuts
    Welcome back @Winkleman! Good to see you here.
  14. The Bird Nuts
    Agree with Chipping Sparrow.
  15. The Bird Nuts
    Welcome to the forum, @Greenesnake!!
  16. The Bird Nuts
    It's an Eastern Phoebe by shape (large, deep head, long tail). I don't see anything that suggests it's immature.
  17. The Bird Nuts
    I've seen one all alone. Don't know how deep the water was, though.
  18. The Bird Nuts
    I also agree.
  19. The Bird Nuts
    I agree with @Birding Boy. The Palm Warblers' tail wagging/flicking behavior is a helpful clue to pay attention to.
  20. The Bird Nuts
    Head shape is helpful, but not 100% reliable. Both can have very similar head shapes depending on what the birds are doing (e.g. resting vs active).
  21. The Bird Nuts
    Ring-necked in the front and Ruddy on the right.
  22. The Bird Nuts
    It's definitely a Red-tailed Hawk.
  23. The Bird Nuts
    Eastern Phoebe is correct. It does look a little pale. I don't know how old it is, but juveniles have cinnamon wingbars, so it's not that young.
  24. The Bird Nuts
    Agreed, Pine.
  25. The Bird Nuts
    The front bird has a white tail so it's a Mallard.
