Looking for an ID on this bird seen this afternoon in Northeast Ohio. I thought it was a sparrow of some kind when I saw it, but Merlin says it is a Red-Winged Blackbird. If it's a sparrow, any guesses as to what kind?

This is a Brewer’s Sparrow - note the dusky gray-brown overall with grayish underparts, a thin white eyering, and a streaked nape.
Thank you! That's a new one for me!

Looking for an Id on this sparrow seen last week.

Saw this near Las Vegas, Nevada last week. Merlin says Orange-crowned, looking for verification.

Is this a Say's Phoebe? Seen near Las Vegas, Nevada last week.

Which Sapsucker is this? It was taken last week in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Merlin is right. The thrush jizz, overall gray-brown color, bold eye-ring, and complicated pattern of pale color in the wing (better seen in the second picture) will do it.
Thank you! That's a new one for me!

Saw this bird last week. Merlin says Townsend's Solitaire, looking for a confirmation.

This is an Abert's Towhee. To separate it from other sparrows, note the drab grayish-brown overall, dark face, pale bill, and orange undertail.
Thank you! That's a new one for me!

Northeast Ohio, second bird may not be the exact same bird, but was in the same bush at the same time. Wasn't able to get any really good photos.

This bird was scratching the ground like a Towhee does, seen last week near Las Vegas, NV.

Looking for an ID for this red bird seen in Alamo, Nevada last week. This is the only photo I got of it.

Thank you! Indigo Bunting crossed my mind for the first one, but I wasn't sure.

These were all seen this morning in Northeast Ohio, I'm guessing they may all be juveniles.

I would agree with Merlin and say that this is a Sedge Wren. Based on that streaky upper shoulder, the only two choices can be a Sedge and a Marsh. Sedges differ from Marshes due to the fully barred wings and the lack of obvious white eyebrow. Also, Sedge Wrens are usually lighter in color.
If I am correct, this is a very nice find! This species is normally very hard to spot unless it perches up to sing. Did you see this in a marshy or grassy area? Sedges tend to stick to grassy areas and Marshes in marshes.
Yes it was perched up high singing in a grassy area. Thank you! This is a new one for me!

I saw this wren today in Northeast Ohio. Photos were taken toward the sun, so not good lighting, the third photo I did auto adjust for the colors which darkened it a bit. Merlin Says Sedge Wren, but I know Merlin can be wrong.

Looking for an ID for this sparrow found today in Northeast Ohio. It was in some shrubs with some Field Sparrows, near some grasslands.

This is an adult/immature House Wren. Winter Wrens differ from House Wrens by their shorter bill, shorter tail, and more small, dark, plump overall. Winter Wrens also have more barring on the flanks.
Additionally, these two species have different behaviors. Winter Wrens are more secretive and not usually seen in backyards, in the open, and/or near houses.
I actually tested this picture in Merlin and it said House Wren. I used Photo ID and put the location as Ohio. Weird that we had different results...
Thank you, I've had Merlin come up with different results with the same photo before, I've also had it come up with birds that are nothing like the photo I used!

This was taken in Northeast Ohio this morning. I didn't hear it sing. I just assumed it was a House Wren, but I checked it on Merlin and it said Winter Wren. I know that Merlin is not always accurate. What do you think?

What is this yellow bird? I'm guessing it's a juvenile. Taken today in Northeast Ohio.

This was taken today in Northeast Ohio. I'm hoping it's not a Song Sparrow! Couldn't get a front view.
