Hi - I could use some help identifying birds from a recent (August) trip to Wyoming's Wind River range. This includes three woodpeckers that I am having trouble distinguishing, one bird that I think I identified, and one that is puzzling me. Woodpeckers All seen between 8000' and 8500'. I've looked at various guides to telling them apart but overall am not sure. Bird A - I think this is a Hairy Woodpecker, based on the head, wings, and white body? Bird B - Bird C - not sure? Very similar to B, but body is spotted / barred. Bird D - Western Tanager? Also seen around 8500', on the ground in the forest. Bird E - No good ideas. Colors kind of remind me of a varied thrush, but the patterns don't fit. Seen around 12300', on rocks at a mountain pass. Thanks for any help!

This Hawk was recorded during mid-golden hour. I thought the Red Tail's silhouette as it flew away was interesting and beautiful as captured with the slow shutter speed (1/30s). Taken with Nikon Coolpix P950 at ~1000 mm focal length. Taken on 28 Jan after sunset.

Using my Nikon Coolpix P950 at 1000mm and 2000mm focal lengths, I captured a young Meadow Lark preening and singing. I slowed down the bird's song by 50% in the last part of this clip.

This bird has been a regular during the past month. It seems to know when I am photographing it. I produced a short video clip of it, worth a peek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfvxkepe20c&list=PLFOag6HjHS4cuI3TU_ZQZrX4xXlZvtM9e&index=2

Can anyone confirm my suspicions that this is a Swainson's Hawk? Taken today (4/22) 6 miles northeast of Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Sorry for the small image but I'm hoping that the profile of this large bird on my roof can be identified. I'm located 6 miles northeast of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Taken ~3:50PM today (4/22). Possible craine? Thanks, Jan

While filming clouds this morning, this bird flew by the instant I snapped the shutter. It was about 20 feet away. Thanks, Jan

Was going through some vacation photos from last year and found a few photos I'm not sure of. There were some teal in Jackson, WY and I know some (most) of them were Green-winged, but this one had a larger bill. Also looks like there might be some damage near base of bill. Please advise. This was 8/29/2017, Jackson, WY.

Hi, This bird appears to be a Lark Bunting. The photo taken in early June in NE Wyoming. The peculiarity is the yellow head. Any feedback on that? Thanks, Dan
