    It is a juvenile.
  2. The Bird Nuts
    Agree, Red-shouldered. The black and white pattern on the wings plus the orange barring on the breast and belly are good ID marks.
  3. The Bird Nuts
    Common Yellowthroat, I think a young male.
  4. The Bird Nuts
    It's a flycatcher, possibly a young Eastern Phoebe.
  5. The Bird Nuts
    Seconded.
  6. The Bird Nuts
    Eclipse male Mallards. American Black Ducks don't have the white in the tail.
  7. The Bird Nuts
    1. Rose-breasted Grosbeak, actually 2. Chipping Sparrow is correct 3. Juvenile Chipping Sparrow
  8. The Bird Nuts
    Finches and buntings love Nyjer (but it has to be fresh!) and both grosbeaks and finches like black oil sunflower seed. BOSS is the way to go if you want to attract the widest variety of birds using one type of birdseed.

    1. Purple Finch 2. Song Sparrow

    Thanks! That is a very tame White-breasted Nuthatch we call "Bugg". ?
  11. The Bird Nuts
    Okay, I shouldn't say they don't eat seeds; some warblers are known to eat seeds when they are extremely hungry. Suet, especially in the winter, might attract them. Just remember to use no-melt suet if you want to feed suet during the warmer months.
  12. The Bird Nuts
    It's a Blue Jay, likely a young one.
  13. The Bird Nuts
    Black-billed Cuckoo? I'd say upload the photos anyway; they might just be good enough.
  14. The Bird Nuts
    None. Those birds do not eat seeds. All eat insects (mealworms might attract them) and tanagers will eat berries.

    Another free program I haven't used much is Paint.NET which, I am told, is easy to use (probably much easier to use than RawTherapee).
  16. The Bird Nuts
    I also agree with Black-crowned Night-Heron. The streaks on the breast are wet feathers.
  17. The Bird Nuts
    Pretty sure it's a young Common Merganser.
  18. The Bird Nuts
    I mainly use: Microsoft Digital Image Suite Anniversary Edition (very old, but very easy to use), but it looks like it's only available on eBay now (I wouldn't download it!). And RawTherapee, a free open-source program which can edit RAW and non-RAW photos. I think GIMP is similar, but I haven't used that much.
  19. The Bird Nuts
    Least Sandpiper.
  20. The Bird Nuts
    Great Blue Heron.
  21. The Bird Nuts
    I was just suggesting lightening photos if you are having trouble identifying a bird. I could already see the bird well enough. ?
  22. The Bird Nuts
    It helps a lot to lighten photos like this. Do you have a photo editing program?
  23. The Bird Nuts
    Male Brown-headed Cowbird.
  24. The Bird Nuts
    Yes, Blue Grosbeak.
  25. The Bird Nuts
    Yeah, Bird Nut #2 told me he thought he remembered you (ejpete) get Savannahs at your feeder, so that wouldn't be unusual. It would be unusual for us, though.
