Miss Marge Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 A few more pictures from my morning walk at the Rattray Marsh, Mississauga, Ontario today. 1) Gotta be an Ovenbird 2) any idea what type of Flycatcher this is? 3&4) Grosbeaks possibly 5) Goldfinch?

Quiscalus quiscula Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yeah, I don't know if we can tell for the flycatchers from the pictures. The last pic is giving me goldfinch vibes as well, but probably just the angle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, the broad white edges and yellowish tinge to the neck look like nonbreeding goldfinch to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 5 isn’t a Goldfinch. Definitely a flycatcher, but that’s as far as I’m willing to go with that photo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perch location does look better for flycatcher, but from what I can see, it has somewhat of a small bill, with the wrong shape for flycatchers.

Kevin Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Five is definitely a flycatcher. As to the bill, you can't see but part of it, and that at a odd angle, so I am not totally sure how we could determine the general size and shape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tail is way too long for Goldfinch. Edited August 30, 2021 by Seanbirds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
