Junco in New Mexico
sfinmt replied to Jerry Friedman's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Slate-colored is correct. It is just a browner variation. -
This was one of the target birds I wanted when I visited Bandeleier Monument and vicinity last spring. I failed to find one. I may have been too early.
-
The flank markings and the white flecks along the edge of the wing look more like Winter Wren.
-
Bendire's
-
Orange undertail. Might be Aplomado.

Goshawk / Cooper's Hawk

Juvenile Gos have pointed retrix tips. This bird's are rounded. -
1st Winter Gull?
sfinmt replied to BombayHookBirder's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
A first cycle California Gull, I believe. -
Agree with Bewick's.
-
The first photo are ravens. Long narrow wings, long head, heavy bill Less certain about the second photo but looking a bit more crow-ish.
-
Intoxicated on ash berries perhaps?
-
looks better for redhead
-
Female COGO.
-
I was leaning that way too akiley.
-
Yep, I can see the tail better after zooming in on a larger screen.
-
Head looks a bit small for Cooper's. Tail looks notched too. Sharpie? Agree with TBN on the others.
-
The golden nape and overall profile (smallish head compared to body size) are good for Golden.

What bird in Atlanta GA?
sfinmt replied to Richard Bowman's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
The white eye-ring, dark auricular with white border, and chestnut shoulder patch indicate a Vesper Sparrow, although the auricular appears a bit dark in this photo. Await further confirmation.- 9 replies

RTH Dark morph or Harlan's?
sfinmt replied to Shrike's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
The belly markings and white in dorsal primaries are pointing to a juvi Harlan's, but I am not certain of that. -
Without good lighting or a view of the back and tertials, what is it seperating this bird from a male Brewer's?
-
new species? - RuddyRedRing Duck
sfinmt replied to Jim W's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I suggest sending these pics to Ben Pierce via FB. He is very good with ducks. https://www.facebook.com/ben.pierce.92123?fref=ufi -
I agree too.
-
The broad tail bands, wing length/tail length ratio, and the few 'polka-dots' on the flanks indicate a Merlin.
-
Another Cooper's vote. Shape and size of head. The "mean" look due to a slight supraorbital ridge. Sharpies look more 'bug-eyed' to me.
