  1. The Bird Nuts
    Looks like a yellow Palm Warbler to me.
  2. The Bird Nuts
    Yes, Hermit Thrush. Thrashers have wing bars, spots on the flanks, much longer tails, and yellow eyes.
  3. The Bird Nuts
    I agree with Broad-winged Hawk.
  4. The Bird Nuts
    I agree with HamRHead. Learn the Common Yellowthroat's song and maybe you'll understand why they're called common. 😃 I've even heard Common Yellowthroats singing in the city (okay, Vermont doesn't really have real cities, but...).
  5. The Bird Nuts
    Agreed!
  6. The Bird Nuts
    Definitely a Black-and-white Warbler.
  7. The Bird Nuts
    Solitary Sandpiper.
  8. The Bird Nuts
    Pretty sure it's a leucistic American Robin.
  9. The Bird Nuts
    I agree with Cape May. Not sure about age or sex.
  10. The Bird Nuts
    Yep, Broad-winged.
  11. The Bird Nuts
    The second looks like a young Broad-winged to me with that tail pattern, the four short wing fingers, and the stubby wings. I also think I see a hint of a belly band (but no dark patagials) which is good for Broad-winged. I don't think the first one is identifiable.
  12. The Bird Nuts
    Common Grackles are never this brown.
  13. The Bird Nuts
    Yep, that is the way I do it most of the time. I think I read somewhere that the sharpest point is the center focus point, so it's best to use that anyway.
  14. The Bird Nuts
    Yes, I believe that is normal.
  15. The Bird Nuts
    I think you have both. I'd say the bird in photos #1, #6, and at the far left of the rest is a Greater Yellowlegs. The others are Lessers -- they are smaller with shorter bills and they have less-extensive barring on the flanks.
  16. The Bird Nuts
    I also agree with Hermit Thrush. The tail is redder than the back, although it's not very obvious in poor lighting. And colors in photos often get washed out at higher ISOs.
  17. The Bird Nuts
    American Goldfinch seconded.
  18. The Bird Nuts
    Agreed.
  19. The Bird Nuts
    Being a fine artist as well as a photographer, I've figured out where I think subjects look best in a composition. Most of the time my favorite pieces are composed using the "Rule of Thirds". I suggest you look it up if you are interested in learning how to compose photos (and other artwork).
  20. The Bird Nuts
    Seconded.
  21. The Bird Nuts
    Blue-gray Gnatcatcher is my guess.
  22. The Bird Nuts
    This is a Sharp-shinned Hawk. The blotchy orange streaking is one good clue. I'm going to guess that this is a female as it is bulkier than what I'm used to, but it's not quite the right shape and color for a Cooper's.
  23. The Bird Nuts
    Indeed it is.
  24. The Bird Nuts
    Pretty sure it's a White-crowned Sparrow.
  25. The Bird Nuts
    Yes, definitely a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
