1. is this a phoebe? It didn't "say" anything, so I wasn't sure. 2. Is there any way to tell if this really zoomed-in on Swan is Tundra or Trumpeter? 3. This is also really zoomed in. Is there any way to tell what the bird on the right is? I know the others are Ring-necked.

Thanks.

These are two different birds.

Thanks for the recommendation. Gotta get that one. Looks like it would be invaluable.

SW PA, yesterday: Trumpeter or Tundra? (seen in large group of swans of over 200 in number at a state park): 1. 2.

Thanks. And thanks for the link to the feather atlas. Did not know there was such a page.

Ok...I apparently can't see the difference.

The top one has pink legs. And a pink bill.

1. Juvenile Herring gull? 2. ??? 3. This one I tried to clear up but it is still bad:

SW PA, yesterday. Was walking along in a State Park when I found a bunch of feathers (no "body", not sure exactly what happened there).

I was watching Tundra Swans and other waterfowl when three swans landed, while honking, and I could swear theirs was "different", so I made sure I got a few shots of them. Are these Trumpeter or Tundra?

Very possible, there were many around. I am not as good at identifying the females.

Today, SW PA:

SW PA, yesterday. Looking at the two small brown ducks in the front. Is there any way to guess what these might be? They seem a lot smaller than the mallard in the photo.

Thanks.
