    Hummingbird ID Help - San Francisco Bay Area, CA

    Took these photos of a hummingbird at Coyote Hills Park in Fremont, CA (San Francisco Bay Area) last Saturday. Didn't seem like an Anna's...but I am prepared to be convinced otherwise. I would appreciate any help in IDing this bird. Thank you so much. Gail

    ID Help - Another California Sea bird

    ID Help - Another California Sea bird

    I saw this bird way out in the water and so the photo isn't that great. This was taken at Imperial Beach south of San Diego today at the Mexican Border. Is this possibly a jaeger? Thank you for comments. Gail

    ID Help - California sea bird (dead, sorry...)

    It didn't seem to be as big as a Common Murre, but now that I am seeing the size of the first one I suggested, it wasn't that small either. I guess it must be a Common Murre. Thanks a lot for the responses! Gail

    ID Help - California sea bird (dead, sorry...)

    ID Help - South Texas Kingbird

    Hi all, I was in south Texas, South Padre Island about a week ago and photographed this kingbird. I thought I had gotten a video of its song, but it didn't happen. The weather was kind of bad during our trip so the photo isn't as crisp as I would have liked. Could this be a Tropical or...

    ID Help - Arizona Flycatchers

    I am finally getting through my 7,500 photos taken in Arizona back in May this year. These flycatchers were taken at Ramsey Canyon in Hereford, Arizona in May 2011. I never heard any sounds from them and I am very tentative at flycatcher IDs. Two are the same bird with different head pose...
