Eider?

Eared Grebe again. Dark cheek patches, and you can see how the bill is upturned.
-
Looks like a young Pied-billed.

On the tip of my tongue...

Have you checked Evening Grosbeak too? -
Eared Grebe. Note the dark cheeks.

sparrow, Toronto, today
Melierax replied to FrenchgirlinTO2's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
White-crowned Sparrow. Immature I believe. -
Sure!

Virginia's Warbler
-
Agreed, FWIW ?

Trumpeter. The eye doesn't look distinct enough for Tundra.

Bird call ID in Pittsburgh 10/25 (2)
Melierax replied to Henggang Cui's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
That's an American Robin. -
starling winter plumage?
Melierax replied to arendtian_actor's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
That's a Red-winged Blackbird. I believe it is a young male. -
The right bird is a dark morph Red-tailed Hawk, not a Harlan's. In general, Harlan's tails do not have red or a faint subterminal band. In other words, there's no reason why this isn't just non-Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk (I don't remember the subspecies in AB). I'd be inclined to say the same for the left bird but it's too hard to see. EDIT: Roughie is ruled out by the red in the tail and the lack of a substantial end of tail band (I'm pretty sure immatures have those too)

What's this duck?
Melierax replied to smittyone@cox.net's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Gadwall! -
Female Northern Cardinal.
-
I agree, looks like Canada, maybe the Lesser subspecies. It's way too big compared to the Mallard behind it and the forehead is not steep enough.

Mystery (to me) bird call in west Houston, TX
Melierax replied to kjsmith's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Yep, that's a Carolina Wren. -
Even More Bird Calls
Melierax replied to MichaelLong's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Hm... my experience with California Towhees is that their calls can actually vary quite a bit. I kept getting confused by them while birding in Cali over the summer. Could be something else though, I see what you and @MichaelLong are saying about the pitch and tone. -
Confirm Black-Chinned Hummingbird?
Melierax replied to harpoon659's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Agreed. Among other things, Black-chinned Hummingbirds have long wings that reach the tail tip. -
Even More Bird Calls
Melierax replied to MichaelLong's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
The first one is a California Towhee. I think you're correct on weird Black Phoebe on the second one. -
What are the chances these were Snow Geese?
Melierax replied to Aaron's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
You should be able to see that they're white if you can tell how fast their wingbeats were. -
Dark morph Rough-legged or Red-tailed Hawk. There might be a roughie tail pattern in the first photo, but the other photos make the tail look red. I'm not sure which one it is though.

This is my one sad photo of one ?
