Viurre Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 1. This bird was flying so high it was a white speck in the sky. I aimed my Nikon P900 at it and this is the best I got: 2. This one got a bit overexposed. Might be a warbler. 3. Juvenile Red Tailed Hawk? 4. Black throated green warbler female? This too was the victim of bad lighting. 5. Field Sparrow? Or other? 6. Juvenile Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbvol50 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 3 is a broad-winged hawk and I think 2 is a yellow-rumped warbler; agree with you on 4,5 and 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psweet Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 #1 is a gull, given the location most likely a Ring-billed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viurre Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 That is entirely possible, a friend of mine had seen some gulls earlier, but wasn't sure what kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Definitely Ring-billed -- Herring has much less black in the wing tip. The Broad-winged is a juvenile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackburnian Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes, Cape May for 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 No matter how I darkened the photo, I couldn't get rid of the bright white on the throat and the face, features contraindicated for Cape May. And notice the patch of color on the upper side that at least suggests yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
