    Male House Finch.
  2. The Bird Nuts
    Cooper's Hawk with the light nape and blocky, flat-topped head (and gray cheeks which makes it a male).
  3. The Bird Nuts
    I'm thinking this is a fledgling Red-winged Blackbird that hasn't grown feathers on its face yet. Like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/feltonphoto/7324816742

    Mallard drake.
  5. The Bird Nuts
    It is a White-breasted Nuthatch.
  6. The Bird Nuts
    Oh, sorry about that, I thought you needed help narrowing it down since you didn't say what you thought it was in the post. ?
  7. The Bird Nuts
    It's an Empid. Hopefully someone with some western flycatcher experience can tell you which one it is.
  8. The Bird Nuts
    Yeah, but I don't really like any of them. ?
  9. The Bird Nuts
    Yes!!! :P

    Before I listened to the recording, when I read "but it seems it is something else that shares the same habitat" I immediately thought Field Sparrow. Sure enough it is the Field Sparrow's bouncing ball song. ?
  11. The Bird Nuts
    Yes, no stripes as in malar stripes and they also lack the streaking on the breast and flanks. Savannahs are not as boldly patterned above - they are a more uniform brown color on the face and wings.
  12. The Bird Nuts
    Yeah, that's good. Although Sharpies have the same color cap and nape, but I get why you wrote head instead.
  13. The Bird Nuts
    Cooper's with the dark cap that contrasts with the light nape, long head projection, and shorter outer tail feathers.
  14. The Bird Nuts
    I think it's a Western Wood-Pewee (large beak, long wings, no eyering).
  15. The Bird Nuts
    Yaaaaay! Glad you're back as moderator! ☺️
  16. The Bird Nuts
    Yes, Warbling Vireo.
  17. The Bird Nuts
    Agreed.
  18. The Bird Nuts
    There is a dot (or star if you've posted in that thread) at the left of the topic title that brings you to the first unread post in that thread.
  19. The Bird Nuts
    Both are correct.
  20. The Bird Nuts
    Yellow-billed Cuckoo, I think.
  21. The Bird Nuts
    American Oystercatchers.
  22. The Bird Nuts
    I don't think it sounds like a Ruby-crowned Kinglet - they make more of a "ch-cha ch-cha" sound. They shouldn't be in Texas right now anyway (assuming this was heard recently).
  23. The Bird Nuts
    This appears to be a juvenile Savannah Sparrow. Field Sparrows have very plain gray faces, lighter orange caps, longer tails, and no streaking on the flanks.
  24. The Bird Nuts
    Cool! Thanks! I was pretty certain, but I wanted to rule out a mimic somehow.

    @Administrator I noticed that after a rather short period of time we are not able to edit our posts. It would be great if that could be changed, maybe remove the edit option after a few hours or days rather than minutes or make it so we can always edit our posts like before.
