Illinois- Light colored Bird ID?
rayh replied to rayh's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
That is a possibility. We had reports over the past 2 weeks of Snow Bunting in this area. -
I heard but didn't spot the bird until it was distant and flying away. A small bird maybe about the size of a sparrow, looking very light color. I could only see the backside as it disappeared. Can this be identified?
-
I was surprised when this bird showed up behind a flock of blackbirds at a low height. Had 2 seconds to take these shots. Merlin says Sharp-shinned Hawk. What do you think?

Heron ID (from a zoo)?
rayh replied to rayh's topic in Help Me Identify a Bird Outside North America
Good find. I was at that page but I thought the photo I had didn't look anything like the one on the zoo's website but I was wrong. Thanks again. -

Very quick response. I never thought it would be a stork. Thanks. 😀 -
I took these photos 12 years ago from Lincoln Park Zoo. I forgot to get the name back then. I checked their website recently but its not in there. What kind of bird is it? It looks to be some kind of heron.

Illinois - Kirtland's Warbler?
rayh replied to rayh's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Yeah. I was thinking the same. Thanks. -

I've been flagged by an ebird reviewer today. He said it's a Ring-billed Gull. Go figure.
-
Thanks.

Taken today. A fellow birder said Carolina Wren but Merlin app. identified it as Marsh Wren. I can see black band behind the neck so I think it's Marsh.

Super. A lifer! What makes this different from Ring-billed or Herring gull?

Unfortunately, I don't remember. I take photos and forget.
