The Bird Nuts Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thinking Painted Bunting for #2 and I can confirm Yellow Warbler for #3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Is #4 a shorebird / peep? Edited August 30, 2018 by Charlie Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psweet Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The bill on #1 is rather heavy -- I'm thinking this is a Baltimore Oriole in evening light, washing out the gray areas. #3 is a Yellow Warbler #4 is definitely a sandpiper, with that bill. Perhaps Pectoral? #5 and #6 are indeed Great-tailed Grackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinelaker Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Sorry I know the sandpiper pic stinks but I thought I'd throw it in there just in case. And the oriole pic was at sunrise so the lighting could very well be playing tricks if the coloring looks off. Either way it's a bird I'd never seen before so I needed the help. Thank you all for your expertise! I'm always learning something new ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
