bpresby Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Good Morning and Happy Mother's Day, My birding isn't a Mother's Day sanctioned event, so I got out yesterday and I think found a new species for me. All taken yesterday in Souther California. Raptors: I believe these are Red-tailed Hawks (picture 2 and 3 are the same bird) #4 and #5 was a smaller raptor harassing the pair of hawks (I had a hard time getting a shot and it didn't come out great). I believe I have it narrowed down to a Northern Harrier and a White-tailed Kite. I'm strongly leaning towards the Kite, but all help welcome. 1 2 3. 4. 5 . New Species, I think: I believe this is a Oak Titmouse (6-9) 10, 11, 12 I think this is a Yellow-Rumped Warbler 13, 14, 15, 16 I also think is a Yellow-Rumped, but not sure 17, 18, 19 I'm not sure. I remember this bird had a sharp 'chirp' which caught my attention. My birding by ear is fairly non-existence so please do not let that shape any identification. 20 Ash-throated Flycatcher. Terrible shot and the disadvantage of hiking with others (late start in the day) and on a nice Spring day with the CV19 restrictions are relaxing (lot's of people and bikes) 21. And what started my day and my favorite yardbird (to date) Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Thanks for your help and have a Wonder Mother's Day!

bpresby Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Thanks! I should have got the Lesser Goldfinch since the male was right there (easier for me to ID him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpresby Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 I still cannot figure out 17-19. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Tried to get some more detail from all of the images, best I could do with a quick and dirty attempt, marginal improvement. I feel I should know this one just from the profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get the same results in Internet Explorer? If it displays correctly in IE, you might try uninstalling Chrome, rebooting it, and re-installing it. I'm not a Chrome user and there's probably an easier way to reset it than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the text always been missing from this warning, or was it there when you joined the site and then disappeared later? Was it there before the Great Site Crash of '18?
