I use these sights as conformations. I'm new. Thank you for your input.

Hi everyone, I think this is a Red-Tail Hawk. Date: Yesterday Habitat: Mixed Forest Region: Northern Illinois Thank you!

Thank you Avery, for the information. I was hoping it would stay. But I haven't seen it for a while. I just hope it found another feeder. I also saw a Fox sparrow yesterday. And a robin a few weeks ago. All of which I never saw before at such a late date. The robin did not stay, and I have no proof. But I will post the picture of the Fox sparrow as well. I suppose it too, can stay given enough food...

This is obviously a catbird. Please excuse the title error.

Hello everyone, On 12/30/20, I saw this poor catbird at my feeder. It stayed for a few days. But I haven't seen it in more than a week. I had no idea catbirds can survive this deep into a Northern Illinois winter. I know catbirds can eat seeds, but is this cat bird doomed to perish? I've never seen this before. Any thoughts? Is it possible is catbird will survive? Location: Northern Illinois Date: 12/30/20 Habitat: Mixed woods, backyard feeder

Thank you all. These birds are quite difficult for me. I will go with the Ovenbird identification, unless the controversy will continue! ?

Thank you!

My apologies, I must have forgotten all about posting this! Anyway, thank you for your help!

Hello all, I think I have a wood thrush here. What could this be? Maybe a Swainson's Thrush? Location: Northern Illinois Habitat: Mixed Forest Date: Two weeks ago

Thank you so much, everyone! This one, I should have known ?

Hello all, Thank you for the confirmation! No, I do not believe I posted this pic before. It was taken about two or three weeks ago, but I just had time to process it recently. I have asked for help with kinglets before, as I am sure I will ask for help with them in the future :). But this, to my knowledge, this should be fresh, never-posted image. Thank you again, everyone!
