J_D_C_ Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Please help / confirm some IDs from this summer. Thanks! Gull Billed Tern? Is saw this bird on a beach near Hampton VA in June 2018. Willow Flycatcher? I saw this bird in Portland TN in May 2018. I saw this bird in Aruba (I realize that is technically part of South America but I believe this is a warbler common in North America) in July 2018. It the time I ID this as a Palm Warbler but am now thinking a Yellow Warbler. Also Aruba in July 2018. Reddish Egret? I didn't get a great look and the picture quality is bad. Reddish is what I thought at the time. Last one. This was taken in July 2018 in Chicago IL. Not sure about this. I feel like I should know it but have not been about to ID it.

hbvol50 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 the flycatcher could be an olive-sided; the warbler is indeed a Yellow. No help on the others except the last bird might be a towhee fledgling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The flycatcher isn't Olive-sided. Tail is too long and bill is too small. Plus it's unusual to see them anywhere but at the top of a snag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
