crm211b Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hi, I'm looking for help on these random birds seen today in Ottawa: 1) ??? DSCN9646.jpg by Darryl Ryan, on Flickr 2) Eastern Wood-pewee? DSCN9612.jpg by Darryl Ryan, on Flickr 3) Song Sparrow? It somehow doesn't look right for a Song Sparrow to me, but nothing else leaps to mind. DSCN9598.jpg by Darryl Ryan, on Flickr 4) Tennessee Warbler? Is there enough here for an id? DSCN9572.jpg by Darryl Ryan, on Flickr 5) No idea what this clumsy bird is... DSCN9518.jpg by Darryl Ryan, on Flickr 6) Pine Warbler? DSCN9495.jpg by Darryl Ryan, on Flickr 7) Cape May Warbler? DSCN9422.jpg by Darryl Ryan, on Flickr Thanks!

blackburnian Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I was thinking Cape May for 1? I think the Sparrow is White-throated. 4 looks like a Nashville Warbler with that gray head and white eye ring. 5 is a Warbling Vireo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On #4 aren't we seeing the yellow outer tail feathers of a female Am. Redstart and also the yellow wing patch? https://icbirds.org/photos/redstart00184em.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s just where the light is peaking through the leaves. I think there's a pretty slim chance the light would hit right where both the yellow wing and tail patches are supposed to be on a redstart. The light wouldn't turn a dark tail bright yellow anyway.

blackburnian Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Strong eye ring, gray head, yellow back:) I really am not seeing this as a Redstart. I’d love to hear what others think. I have no problem being wrong, but I’m not convinced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Also, does the OP have any other shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crm211b Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 First, thanks everyone for your inputs. They were very helpful. For bird number 4, unfortunately, I don't have any other pictures. However, American Redstart is making a bit of sense for me. Zooming in on the picture, I notice that the eye-ring isn't really complete. It's more two arcs, one above and one below with a faint, dark line through the eye. This, and the colours on the tail and wing would probably point towards Redstart. What do you think? Thanks again!

Winged LEGO Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Why not Bay-breasted Warbler for 6? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackburnian Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hmmm I think I agree with Bay-breasted. Pine wasn’t totally fitting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
