  1. Hello,

    I observed these two Empidonax flycatchers at Bosque de Chapultepec in Mexico City, on 8/22/23. Neither of these birds vocalized. 

    I would love your input based on attached photos. The expected empids in Mexico city this time of the year are Least, Hammond’s, Buff-bellied and Western (cordilleran). My initial ID was a Least, but I do not have any experience with this species, so would appreciate your expertise.

  2. Hello,

    I saw this Myiarchus Flycatcher in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico on 6/15/23. The two expected Myiarchus species are Brown-crested & Nutting's. I think the beak is too small to be a Brown-crested, especially considering the location, where the "western" brown-crested, which has a bigger beak. Unfortunately, I did not hear this bird vocalize. I do not have much of an experience with either of these flycatchers, so I appreciate your input and expertise.

  3. Hi all,

    I was able to snap a couple of digi-bin pics of this eagle flying over the hills of Oakland, CA this afternoon. I'm leaning on 1st year Bald Eagle as in the field, the white seemed more extensive than what a subadult Golden Eagle would've shown. I wanted to check with this forum to confirm.

    Thanks!

  4. Hello,

    This Gull was spotted in Point Reyes National Seashore in California. I initially thought that it was a Western Gull, but I was caught off guard by the pale eyes of this individual. Could this possibly be a hybrid of sorts or perhaps a Herring Gull? Thanks in advance!
