    Spoon-billed Sandpipers in China

    I am due to visit Hong Kong in middle May. I have some questions and would appreciate some help. 1. Spoon-billed Sandpipers are seen at Mai-Po. Is this a dependable sighting in middle May or are these sightings considered rare. Obviously I know that there are very few of them around. 2. Is there...

    The last few ID's I want help with are attached. Taken in Bandera, TX. Mid July near a stream. I think it might be Pine Warbler. Also looked at Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Gey Vireo and Flycatchers. Discarded all by virtue of season, distribution and features ie bill. There...

    Again I tend to agree. Seeing the habitat, a swamp, it should then rather be Boat-tailed? I saw a female and a chick earlier.

    What is interesting here is that the bird list of the reserve does not mention Black-crested Titmouse but only Tufted Titmouse! However this can only be Black-crested.

    Thank you again. Seen in Bayou Black, Louisiana. It is just a Common Grackle female? Seen at Lake Calcasieu, Louisiana: Also Common Grackle (Male)? The white on the wings and nape confuse me with this bird. Is it also a Grackle?:

    Thank you Andy. The field guide does look a bit different and the flanks are buffy, but I agree with you. Larry, the bird list of the reserve mentions only Carolina chickadee and I also agree with you. Again, the guide is a bit misleading. These next birds were also seen at the same spot and...

    USA Birding, LA & TX I was in the USA in July this year. We visited Lost Maples SNA, in Texas. Although extremely hot, we did see some nice birds for a newcomer. (My first birding in the USA) I am completely baffled with these birds. Although the features look pretty straightforward, I cannot...

    Birding the Hill Country and San Antonio

    Thank you BeesWing. Although I would like to see the two mentioned birds, my main aim is to see as many of the local birds as possible as this is my first birding visit to USA. Looks like the East Trail it will be. I will be there early!
