nevsar Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 1) I'm fairly certain these are Nelson's sparrows. These have blurry stripes on the chest. Also these are somewhat expected at this time of the year. 2) This one I think is a saltmarsh sparrow based on the crisp streaks on the chest, and the chest does not look buffy. However, considering its getting late for this species, I wanted to check. 3) I think it's a sharp-shinned hawk based on the squarish tail (and the eye-head proportion also seems fine for it but I'm not too sure on this one). I thought it was a Cooper's on the field based on the size, but I guess it could have been a female (or it's just a Cooper's hawk). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I agree with Sharpie for the hawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
