Greater or Lesser Scaup?
Melierax replied to Charlie Spencer's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Looks like Lessers to me. -
Sounds fun! Have a great trip!

Okay... looking closer I all of a sudden realized that’s not a quarter haha! Still, Hummingbird feathers are very fragile and see-through, and almost veiny. https://www.google.com/search?q=hummingbird+wing+feathers&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiclfb7sq7cAhWTLH0KHUQ9DFkQ_AUIEigC&biw=320&bih=454#imgrc=nE9j8k0MPYmOOM:

Not a Hummingbird... their feathers are even smaller. I’m thinking a quail feather? It’s pretty nondescript though. It could be a Eurasian Collared Dove as well.

Yep, that's my photo! Yup!

Louisiana Waterthrush in Idaho! First state record 😄
-
I think the beak is too hefty and curved for Bullock's. I'm thinking Hooded.

Hawk in South Central Idaho
Melierax replied to Melierax's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks! -
South Central Idaho sometime in early spring. I was considering Ferruginous.
-
Agreed with Nashville with that yellow throat.
-
I have a cabin in a ridiculously wild area with no more than 100 people within a 100 mile radius... And I have had no weird encounters with Bigfoot 😛 . Only foxes screaming which is pretty freaky. We do have wolverines and grizzlies though.
-
Of course. You didn't know? 😛 He moderates us
-
Truer words were never said

@egosnell2002 remember to bring the owls with you 😛 @Nighthawk01 noice! Have you decided where to bird yet?
-
help please what kind of a bird is this guy?
Melierax replied to lew laurie's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Please post IDs in the Help me identify a bird section, but this bird is an Egyptian Plover. EDIT: Also welcome to Whatbird! -
Ah okay. When are you leaving for the wild west? 😛
-
Congrats! You're on your trip now?
-
Wow! Looks like you've been pretty busy! Also you can drive legally at 14 in Idaho 😛

Small New bird in back yard
Melierax replied to Back Yard Bird Girl's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
How about Wrentit? If you do live in California those are fairly common. Also look up Bushtit. -
Ah got it. I'd agree with Flicker then. Good luck in refinding it 🙂
-
Could you describe flight pattern? Flickers have a bobbing flap-glide pattern, harriers have a soaring or flapping pattern.

Bird call recording - can you ID?
Melierax replied to vir's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
My best guess is some sort of hawk but the recording isn't the best... -
My brother took this picture of me holding a baby Starling in Philadelphia
-
I live in Idaho as well! This is for sure a Great Horned Owl. I hear them do this all the time, generally the females do it I think. Also their ear tufts can be hard to see sometimes, especially as it gets dark.
