Thanks Tony - didn't know that about the crown and female. Every bit of info always helps me learn more about birds! Thanks!! Mary Alice

Thanks Lonesome... I wish I had done a little better, but maybe next time...

Thanks Birdbrain!

THANK YOU!! Sorry Bird Nuts... I forgot, but it was today in Hilton Head Island SC

I think this is an Orange-crowned Warbler, but not sure since I have never seen one before. Overall olive, but undertail very yellowish. If it had it's crown up, I would have known for sure! Thanks for any help in id'ing... Mary Alice

Thanks Ivory Bill Hope and HamRHead... Swainson's would be rare here now, but I was leaning towards that as well... THANKS M.A.

I cannot tell if this is a Swainson's Thrush or a Hermit Thrush. Taken in Hilton Head Island, SC. Would be rare if a Swainson's, but we have lots of Hermit Thrush now. Thanks for helping me ID!! M.A.

I think this is a Fox Sparrow I shot today in Hilton Head Island, SC. I have never seen one before, but it was hanging out with a White-throated Sparrow. Could anyone confirm if I am correct or ID this bird? Photos not great, but ok for ID I think. Thanks, Mary Alice

Thanks Hamrhead! Your comments will help me better ID in the future!

Thanks, Ham - These warblers are so confusing for me. Look so much alike!

Great video - wish I could get a male!!

I think I was observing a Cape May Warbler and a Blackpoll Warbler today, both bathing in the same area. How can I tell which bird is which when they are wet? I'm not sure if these shots are the same bird. This is maddening... Thanks, Mary Alice

I can't tell if these are the same bird or different birds. I believe one is a Blackpoll that I shot yesterday and the other one is a Cape May?? I am confused! Both taking a bath in a creek and I thought they were the same bird. Thanks for any help

This bird was taking a bath today. Need help on ID - possibly a Cape May or juvenile of some sort? Looks like the Blackpoll I got yesterday... Thanks for any help. Mary Alice

Ebird Alert posted for Beaufort County, SC where I live, so I guess they agreed on a Blackpoll as well! Yeah! M.A.
