another flycatcher mystery :)
The Bird Nuts replied to skoenlaper's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I'd call it an Eastern Wood-Pewee based on the long primaries, peaked head shape, darker vest, and lack of eyerings. -
Looks like a Blue-winged Warbler x Golden-winged Warbler hybrid to me. It has two yellow wingbars (indicating some Golden-winged ancestry) and it appears to have a dark eyeline.
-
Agreed.
-
With the streaked, dark vest, bright white line down the center of the breast, and the short tail, this looks good for an Olive-sided Flycatcher.

Young Swamp for me. -

The Bird Nuts replied to Neal Harris's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
That's a good guess. Boy, do they look strange! http://magazine.outdoornebraska.gov/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/cardinal-by-zechmann.jpg -
Two Sparrows and a Bobolink - NY today
The Bird Nuts replied to Morgan's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Song Sparrow for 1 and Bobolink for 3 is correct. Not completely sure on 2. Both of the sparrows look like youngsters to me and the Bobolink might be a molting male. -
Same Bird? and ID please
The Bird Nuts replied to Robert Nelson's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Eastern Bluebirds. -
Likes the dirt
The Bird Nuts replied to Robert Nelson's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Seconded. -
I agree, it's a flycatcher. I'm leaning Willow/Alder due to bill size.

White-necked black bird
The Bird Nuts replied to Noarenne's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
That sounds like Belted Kingfisher behavior. I realize they are not all black, but in certain lighting and at a distance I suppose they could look that way. https://www.google.com/search?q=belted+kingfisher+flight&client=firefox-b-1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjetoONvvDcAhXLVt8KHXkoCFkQ_AUICigB&biw=1600&bih=770 -

White-necked black bird
The Bird Nuts replied to Noarenne's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Was it in the trees, on the shore, or just flying above you? Did it make any sounds? -
Help with little wren ID
The Bird Nuts replied to Warbler's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Agree with Bewick's Wren. A House Wren wouldn't have that defined of a supercilium, as mentioned above, and it would have more barring on the wings and a shorter tail. I believe this is a young bird. -

This is a hummingbird. Maybe Rufous? -

What bird is this [iBird request]
The Bird Nuts replied to Administrator's topic in iBIRD ONLY - Help Me Identify a Bird
A female/immature Vermilion Flycatcher would have a lighter, browner head, faint streaking on an even lighter breast, and usually a more vibrant color underneath (not as buffy). Vermilion Flycatchers also have different proportions (larger eyes, smaller bills). -
Solitary sandpiper and a ???
The Bird Nuts replied to gstacks's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
It's difficult for me to explain shorebird differences, but I'll try. Yellowlegs have more densely-spotted wings and back (especially around the neck and shoulder areas) and a less prominent eyering than Solitary Sandpipers. Yellowlegs also have longer, yellower legs, longer necks, and very slightly thinner bills. Their heads also tend to look more gray to me than the brownish Solitaries. -
Help identifing this bird please
The Bird Nuts replied to BirderDH's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Agreed. Magnolias have a distinctive tail pattern (the tip looks like it was dipped in paint) and the flank streaking does not connect to the face pattern. -
Yes. The black and white checkered pattern on the wings plus the barred orange breast and belly is distinctive. EDIT: Posted at the same time as Bird Brain!

Red-tailed Hawk?
The Bird Nuts replied to tsegarra's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Agree, Red-tailed. Don't know why it would be rare... ?
