How about pics of some birds mostly seen at night.

I let Lightroom do the work for me, by date. I have specific collections for eBird exports, INaturalist and blog photos. I have keywords set up for species, but stink at keeping it updated.

EBird reports of birds you found in a photo
chipperatl replied to Jerry Friedman's topic in Photo Sharing and Discussion
Yes, but I know there was a reason for the 0. Read it somewhere. 😄 Not much different from posting photos here and getting the ID. For the most part I think I know most of the birds I had to get help on. Even though my life list is 339, I could look at it and say "Northern Goshawk, I didn't ID in the field. I snapped pics and had to get help from there." A few birds in San Diego were pointed out to me by the Tour Guides. It is a humbling hobby. But back to the eBird data. The bird was there, and to me the important thing is identifying the correct bird and recording it. -

The zero for rare species is more specific to stakeout birds, as a way to let others know not seen. I can’t even count how many arm chair birds I’ve found from looking at photos. I saw the flock of gulls...and that Iceland was in it. -
Pretty sure the Merlin started sucking out part of my soul with that look.

Were they mobbing it? I've seen crows mob a COHA, and the COHA would chase after them.

What is this small raptor?
chipperatl replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
is this ice it is landing on? Great shots of a hard to capture bird. -
Your best photo of a bird species.

@Birding Boy, looks like the Smew has a band on left leg. https://ebird.org/checklist/S78965857

Yep, I have one with very clear "White-winged" like tips hanging around. It doesn't look bigger than the others, but they are the most white I've seen on the Slate-coloreds around here. It also has buffy wash mixed in with the grey on the flanks. I'm assuming a first year bird hanging on to a little brown still. Odd transition I've not seen before.

Abieticola or Borealis?
chipperatl replied to Bitzgirl7's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I report that as an abieticola. Not the perfect specimen.
