Common Yellow-throat vs. ?
Melierax replied to floraphile's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Yep, Yellowthroat -
Was able to get nine owl species in a week here in Idaho. Saw all of them except Flammulated. SEOW, LEOW, GHOW, GGOW, NSWO, FLOW, BUOW, BANO, WESO. I only got photos of four of them because I enjoy looking at them more than photographing them ?

Sharp-shinned or Cooper’s?
Melierax replied to Mark F's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Dark nape - Sharp-shinned. Do you have any more photos? -
I like Common or hybrid. We had a Barrow's this summer just south in Stanley, but this bird has a significantly larger bill with minimal orange and head shape that fits better for Common.

Incredible White Eye Ring
Melierax replied to Miss Marge's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
That's actually a white-eye, a bird from Asia. I don't remember if those are actual vagrants in California or typically escapees, or what. -
Audio from a New Mexico Valley
Melierax replied to Jerry Friedman's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
It's not just that it's slow - see my above post. The actual phrases are wrong IMO. -
Audio from a New Mexico Valley
Melierax replied to Jerry Friedman's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
The quality is completely wrong for HOWR. There's far too few notes and it's very clear and bright sounding. Here's the difference in spectrograms: One major thing that makes me lean SUTA is the fact that every phrase is about the same length. BHGR tend to have wide variety between phrases, giving it the feel that it's alternating between short and long phrases. I'm not getting a "sickly" vibe - you might be getting that in part just because it's in the background of a fuzzy recording. -

1. I'm liking Summer Tanager.. The phrases are too separated for BHGR, and also you can hear some high pitched phrases as well... but the individual phrases fit better for Tanager than Robin. 2. Yellow-breasted Chats. They make the chatter and churr sound 3. Another Chat
