    Tail pattern looks good for a Yellow-rumped and we can see part of the yellow rump and throat in the last photo.
  2. The Bird Nuts
    I'm pretty sure males have complete black masks by May, so I think this is a female.
  3. The Bird Nuts
    As we always say, size can be very difficult to judge, especially when there are no other birds nearby. That is definitely a White-crowned and it is an immature and not a juvenile.
  4. The Bird Nuts
    I agree with Yellow-rumped. It's definitely not a pure Myrtle.
  5. The Bird Nuts
    Sounds more like a titmouse to me. It doesn't have a warbler quality.
  6. The Bird Nuts
    Yep, Cooper's.
  7. The Bird Nuts
    Thanks for the confirmation, Tony! I wish I had known these subtle differences BEFORE I saw one... I would've chased after it when it flew off... 😞
  8. The Bird Nuts
    Yeah, probably! 😄 But I wouldn't have been able to confirm it without photos because I have zero experience with Connecticuts!
  9. The Bird Nuts
    With the lack of crown stripes, overall tan color, and stout bill, this is a female/immature male House Sparrow.
  10. The Bird Nuts
    3, 5, and 6 are Turkey Vultures. I believe the rest are Red-taileds.

    Cool! I had initially decided on Mourning because I didn't think it was tubby enough for a Connecticut and I thought the eyering and breast band was within normal variation. But it was flagged, so I had to get more opinions!
  12. The Bird Nuts
    Thanks, Avery. I'm adding two more photos. I should've included these in the OP. It appears the throat is not yellow.

    I saw this warbler briefly in September. I didn't notice much about its behavior because I was too busy taking photos.
  14. The Bird Nuts
    Maybe a flycatcher of some sort? https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/browse/shape/Flycatchers
  15. The Bird Nuts
    It's a Savannah (tan color with yellow on the face, crisp streaking on white underparts, thin pink bill).
  16. The Bird Nuts
    Thanks, guys!
  17. The Bird Nuts
    Sounds like a good idea.
  18. The Bird Nuts
    My impression is a dove of some sort. I think the tail is too short for a Mourning, so I'm guessing Eurasian Collared-Dove.
  19. The Bird Nuts
    Location?
  20. The Bird Nuts
    Thanks everyone! Yes, I think it's a Sharpie as well. I am pretty sure I flagged it a few days ago, but it is not flagged anymore, so I assume it was confirmed as a Cooper's. I feel bad flagging observations twice, but................

    I would like to know what others think this is: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/259418911
  22. The Bird Nuts
    Looks better for a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
  23. The Bird Nuts
    Some Red-tailed Hawks can have white uppertail coverts (I have an example if you want to see it). It is definitely a Red-tailed.
  24. The Bird Nuts
    Another difference between TEWA and OCWA I notice is shape/proportions. OCWAs tend to be more plump and have larger, rounder heads.
  25. The Bird Nuts
    I agree -- Yellow-rumped Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, and Song Sparrow. @Tony Leukering could probably tell you the age and sex of the Yellow-rumped.
