Gaucho25 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hi everyone. Hope you guys are keeping cool. Went camping last week in Chenango Valley State Park and Clarence Fahnestock State Park and was lucky to see some amazing birds. I need help with some doubts I have. I think the brown streaked one is a juvenile cowbird but I didn't see a lot of cowbirds around. I mostly saw juncos nearby where this little one was. Then - I have two flycatchers from a distance that I think are both Great Crested Flycatchers. However, one had a longer tail. Then, I think the darker flycatcher is an Eastern Phoebe, however, it didn't do the tail wag. Could it be a least flycatcher? That's my other guess. Also I think this is a sharp skinned hawk. It's a terrible photo and the only one I managed to take. The hawks in NYC let me get closer. And wood thrush? Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) 1. Juvenile Dark-eyed Junco 2-3. Great Crested Flycatcher 4. Eastern Phoebe (brown upperparts, no eyering or wingbars) 5. Either a Broad-winged or a Red-shouldered. Leaning Broad-winged due to the darker brown upperparts and minimal streaking in the center of the breast. 6.

hbvol50 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) I think the first bird is a juvenile Eastern bluebird. Agree with your other ID's but not sure about the accipiter. Edit: Junco makes sense for the first bird. I just have never seen a juvenile. Edited July 21, 2020 by hbvol50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaucho25 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Cool! I have never seen a juvenile junco before. And I'll compare the hawk to your suggestions. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Is that "Sharp-skinned Hawk" or "Shark-shinned Hawk?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
