    USA, Minnesota, two short audio clips, bird not seen, possibly Bald Eagle?

    The first is definitely a Blue Jay. The second is almost certainly a Blue Jay imitating a begging Red-tailed Hawk- though I can't completely rule out a real Redtail, the very short first note of the second recording sounds very much like a Blue Jay. BLJA's frequently imitate the sound of a...

    Warbler North Florida?

    This is clearly a Northern Parula. The problem with the wingbars is that, because of molt, the bird’s missing most, though not all, of the feathers of the median & greater secondary coverts, the feathers whose white tips constitute the wing bars. You can pretty clearly see two pinfeathers...

    Kowa's new 50 mm scope

    http://www.brandonoptics.com/Kowa-TSN-553-50mm-Prominar-Fluorite-Crystal-Spotting-Scope-Angled-Body-_p_2451.html Specs. Disappointingly small field of view for the zoom, and this says it’s non-removable. :-(

    Comment by 'SEOW' in media 'Great-tailed Grackle (female)'

    Vancouver Island

    Hutton's Vireo. Note especially the narrowness of the lower wing bar in the first pic, and the thickness of, and slight hook at the end of, the bill in pic 2 especially. Some nice notes on the ID of these lookalikes here: http://creagrus.home.montereybay.com/HUVI-v-RCKI.html
