    ID by call? (Galveston area, Texas)

    Last week I heard a call that I had not heard before and I have been unable to identify the bird that made it. The call came from the top of the live oak at the back of my yard. I couldn't see the bird while it was in the tree but it made this call five or six times before a bird in that tree...

    Immature Rufous Female?

    Thank you for both of your responses. I live in far southeast Texas, just north of Galveston. I have read that the Rufous, although not common, is not a rare bird to see here, and that the Broad-tailed would be more unlikely to be this far across the state. I do have another photo of the bird in...

    New Mexico - Three In Hand

    Thank you for your response. My mother took this photo last year in her yard. The hands belong to her neighbor, who was refilling her feeder. I thought he might be a ruby-throated too, but I've never seen such a dark breast as on this male. And I thought ruby-throateds didn't go that far west. I...

    New Mexico - Three In Hand

    I posted this message several days ago in the ID Thread but have not had any response so I thought I would post it here. I'm having a hard time identifying these three. The photo was taken in the Las Cruces area of New Mexico in early July. Three In Hand Thanks in advance.
