    I like that idea, too! Although I think it should be weekly instead of daily, since some people aren't on every day and they'll miss their chance to share their photo of a particular bird.
  2. The Bird Nuts
    And birds eating anything that was directly offered to them by humans.
  3. The Bird Nuts
    Agreed. Such beautiful colors in those photos!

    1-2. Lincoln's Sparrow (gray supercilia, thin streaking on buff flanks, redder wings and longer tail than Savannah) 3-4. Yes, Swamp Sparrow (no streaking, reddish wings)
  5. The Bird Nuts
    I didn't mention that because sometimes they don't have obvious yellow on the bill. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/241966021 But, yes, they usually have yellow on the beak, and it's a good identifier.

    It could be a young male. The males don't get their purple color until the next year.
  7. The Bird Nuts
    Looks good to me.

    Eeeww! That's funny, I was just playing fetch with my dog a minute ago and the ball got "lost" behind the dustpan and she didn't know how to get to it.
  9. The Bird Nuts
    Wow, very cool flocks there! I'm out of reactions..... Okay, what's the next challenge?
  10. The Bird Nuts
    I was thinking that, too. I was going by it's bulkiness, bulging secondaries, dense streaking, and many tail bands. Is there anything else that points to goshawk? Trying to learn as I've never seen a young one.
  11. The Bird Nuts
    Purple Finch.
  12. The Bird Nuts
    Yes, both are Warbling Vireos.
  13. The Bird Nuts
    Yay!! Congrats @Avery! I just read through the finch forecast yesterday and was excited to see that the EVGRs were going to be on the move this winter.

    It doesn't eat bananas anymore.
  15. The Bird Nuts
    Cooper's Hawk.
  16. The Bird Nuts
    It's a young Bald Eagle.
  17. The Bird Nuts
    The second is a Common Raven.
  18. The Bird Nuts
    😆 That's what I was thinking!
  19. The Bird Nuts
    Really?! Were you able to get a photo?
  20. The Bird Nuts
    Palm is correct.
  21. The Bird Nuts
    It is a Song Sparrow. Fox Sparrows have wider bases to their bills and slightly different face patterns.
  22. The Bird Nuts
    Okay! Sounds good!
  23. The Bird Nuts
    What's your definition of a "flock"? At least 5 birds? 10?
  24. The Bird Nuts
    Yes, because it's migration season, but apparently they do breed in SC.
  25. The Bird Nuts
    Its wingtips are not yellow, it's the base of the tail. That makes it an American Redstart.
