    Question: If we reach the end of the warbler list, can we keep going and post better and better photos of each species? 🤣
  2. Melierax
    The forum went through a crash and now the old topics that this would fit better in are gone and nobody seems to be interested enough to reinstate them. I think your question might go better in the other thread simply because it's technically "ID help" even though it's not a particular bird you're wanting ID'd.

    Depending on the location, Mute Swan can be considered domestic/not an established population. That's probably why.
  4. Melierax
    Did you double check the time and location? Sometimes places in other states have identical names or something.

    I think the rule is 12-18, at least. I think the pre-crash Whatbird's Young Birders had some people up to 20, but not sure. Welcome to the club! 😂

    Steller's Jays have varying amounts of white and blue on their heads (I think there are some subspecies at play here but have yet to find any good research articles on them)

    I remember that! What was the consensus? I think I may have said Harlan's but I don't remember. Now that I look at it, seems like melanism is a possibility.
  8. Melierax
    Agreed - that big honkin' beak.
  9. Melierax
    Correct! ISSJ are only 4 oz, BBMA are 6.2 oz, and MERL are 6.9 oz.

    Hmm... that's tough. I think that pretty much limits us (at least me in PA and Idaho by next week) to Redpolls and Rosy-finches... Evening Grosbeak and Pine Grosbeak in PA but they both breed in Idaho too.

    This is a macro shot:

    Ayy! Alright, my turn again... Black-billed Magpie, Island Scrub-Jay, Merlin

    I've just spent some time listening through different calls. Barred Owls from what I can tell don't make that raspy almost cat-like screech - I still like GHOW.
  14. Melierax
    To be fair, I've never heard Barred Owl solicitation calls. It does sound spot on for Great Horned though.
  15. Melierax
    Lucifer?
  16. Melierax
    That's a Great Horned Owl.
  17. Melierax
    Huh?
  18. Melierax
    The first one is actually a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The second one is indeed a late-staying Tennessee Warbler.
  19. Melierax
    So you see.
  20. Melierax
    Let's let... @BirdNrd pick the next one
  21. Melierax
    You both are correct! Ruby-crowned Kinglets average 0.24 oz. Gnatcatchers are close at 0.23 oz and bushtits are 0.19 oz.
  22. Melierax
    Alright... Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Bushtit, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
  23. Melierax
    Yeah I know, I just can never remember the technically definitions of immature and juvenile.
  24. Melierax
    I get juvenile and immature mixed up as concepts.
  25. Melierax
    Pretty sure those are Lark Buntings.
