Kevin T. Karlson, one of the authors of The Shorebird Guide, says most birds can be identified in all plumages. Not that I can do it. He does have a good page with tips on some things to look for: https://www.kevintkarlson.com/dowitchers

Oh, that's right, there were two. I saw the one at the Brickyard Ponds in Richmond County.

Congrats! Not a bad shot for a creeper. They blend right in with the tree, and they never pause for long.

I'm at 214 for the year. That's a little behind the previous 3 years. And I just hit 331 on my life-list, a Red-throated Loon. The loon, a county first, was found by Sam Murray, who was a member on Whatbird back in the day.

I'm not sure if this fits with the thread, but I try to add coordinates if a bird is a little more rare. I've learned that from other birders and I find it helpful.

Spam used to have a recipe on the can for a glaze--brown sugar mustard and vinegar. It's delish. Spam is also good cubed, fried and added to potato soup or made into gravy.

I have three. All from Phinizy Swamp and Nature Park, Augusta, GA. I can't really remember taking this shot either. Whoever took it clearly over-cropped it! LOL

Maybe you've been hacked! Check your other photos and make sure @Charlie Spencerdidn't "donate' some of his worst shots. I'm checking mine, too. ?

You've got a Black-billed Magpie.

My parents called them Little Green Herons. I thought maybe the "little" was part of an older name that has since been changed. But if that's the case, I couldn't find anything online.

Actually, the name is just Green Heron. I'm not sure why, but I've always called them Little Green Heron.

This is a Little Green Heron. And it does look like a juvenile.

American Redstart

Having just come from her hairdresser's, Cheryl couldn't wait to show off her new mocha chestnut neck fade.

I found a Wilson's on this side of the river last September. @meghanntried to relocate it without success. They are definitely few and far between. Great shots by the way! In these kind of situations, photos are invaluable.
