Candydez12 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 These were all taken in Lake County with my new $1,500 camera. I don't know the dates which all of them are taken though. Thanks! ? 1. This one was acting like a woodpecker so I was wondering if my chance it is one? Reminds me of a Starling, but it was climbing up this tree like a woodpecker would. 2. Ok, Is this a Female House Finch, Or something else. It was eating with the other House finches so I think it is one of them, but what is with the large beak? 3. This one was taken yesterday. I am pretty sure all of the Gulls are Ring - Billed Gulls. But I am not sure for sure. 4. Another Gull. Another Ring - Billed? 5. Another Gull. I am pretty sure this is also a Ring-Billed Thanks so much for all of your help ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only woodpecker this seems reasonable for is Lewis's Woodpecker, but I think this is better left unidentified- I'm far from certain that this even is a woodpecker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Where is lake county? What do you get there Woodpecker wise? I’m pretty sure it’s a Woodpecker with that black and white plumage and horizontal position. I feel like there is not enough white on the back for a Downy, but I’m not sure if there are any other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) From Previous posts I know It's the Lake county in California. I'm having a hard time fitting the woodpeckers found there to this photo. Nuttall's and Downy can be ruled out, and Red-breasted Sapsucker has noticeable white on the back. It's also not a Northern Flicker, which leaves either Acorn or Lewis's Woodpecker. Or it could be a Starling, which is what I feel this is.

I actually think based on that posture and I might be able make out a bill, I think it’s a kingfisher. look @Candydez12what was the habitat for bird #1?

Lewis is also around the area but never saw one before. @Birding Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is somewhere near the lake. But is in a place with a bunch of old trees, which most woodpeckers are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
