I'd say it looks good for Common Tern.

Yes, it's a Gadwall.

Help with an I.D. of this Hummingbird?
psweet replied to BLTom's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
This is an Anna's, with the gray-green undersides, orange-red gorget and crown, and fairly short, straight bill. -

Warblers in S Vermont
psweet replied to mfoster.vt's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Magnolia Magnolia 3a -- Magnolia Warbler; 3b (the flight shot) Empidonax, most likely Yellow-bellied Looks like the same bird as 3b Canada Warbler Blackburnian Warbler Bay-breasted Warbler Yes to Scarlet Tanager, but aging and sexing them at this time of year is complicated -- all of them will look green right now. -
Help sorting this out — thrush? juvenile?
psweet replied to dsankey's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Juvenile Yellow-rumped Warbler. -
Sure looks like it.
-
1) American Golden Plover - small bill, dark crown, bit of black still present on the undertail coverts 2) Solitary Sandpiper 3) Pectoral Sandpiper
-
Those look like Sanderlings.
-
Juvenile. Adult females are a bit browner on the back, but otherwise very similar to males.
-
Yes, all Swainson's. Falcons have long, slender, pointed wings and proportionally larger, square-ish heads.

Black chinned or Lucifer???
psweet replied to TooFly's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I think that dark spot on the first bird is just displaced feathers showing the darker down feathers below. These both look like Black-chinned -- the hint of color on the underparts of the second one looks like a reflection off of the red feeder. Lucifer are really distinctive-looking, when you do spot one. (The most reliable spot I know of is the Ash Canyon B&B just south of Sierra Vista -- earlier in the month she suggests coming in an hour before sunset, if I remember correctly, but they're likely a bit easier by this point in the season.) -
Double-crested Cormorant, juvenile?
psweet replied to Mark F's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Double-crested would have extensive orange facial skin both above the lores and below the eyes, extending back to a curve on the throat. -
Vireo .. Yellow-rumped Warbler .. ? BC
psweet replied to Gripen's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I'd say it looks like a young Yellow-rumped as well. -
Confirm Another Least or Western Sandpiper?
psweet replied to harpoon659's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Just a note -- don't get hung up on the "fall" part of "fall migration". Shorebirds start moving south, in some cases, in late June. By late July some species are in full swing. -
This is a juvenile Yellow-rumped Warbler.

Common or Fish Crow
psweet replied to Toronto BlueJay's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Given the location, there's very little chance this is a Fish Crow, I think. The only records in the area this year have been right on the shores of Lake Ontario. There were a few records a bit south of you in 2012 (around Guelph), and one record at Belwood Lake that same year. -
South TX: Which nighthawk?
psweet replied to Andrew_Lyall's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Looks like a Common -- the white band on the primaries is close to the wrist, under the tertials. On Lesser, it's farther out, near the tip of the tertials. -
More Hornsby Bend Birds
psweet replied to pinelaker's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
The bill on #1 is rather heavy -- I'm thinking this is a Baltimore Oriole in evening light, washing out the gray areas. #3 is a Yellow Warbler #4 is definitely a sandpiper, with that bill. Perhaps Pectoral? #5 and #6 are indeed Great-tailed Grackles. -
Blue-winged Teal or Green
psweet replied to Buddym's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Agree with Blue-winged. Green-winged have shorter bills and a distinct creamy white line below the tail. -
What is this gull like bird
psweet replied to Bree's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Juvenile Herring Gull looks right, with those extensively pale inner primaries. -
Mountain Plover would also be quite the find in Mississippi.
-
I agree, looks like Red-necked. Dark crown and eye-patch, dark back with pale lines.
-
I think you're right about the first one -- that looks like a Calliope.
-
Second Cedar Waxwing. Even at this age, a Bohemian would have chestnut undertail coverts and a fair bit of white in the wing coverts.
