    Sparrow? Finch? IDK. November 14 2022 Nova Scotia Canada

    When I caught sight of this bird I thought Fox Sparrow? It was heavy overcast and spitting rain so the light wasn't great. But as I watched I said no, too small and not the right colours. Purple finch? I'm no expert birder and I could be wrong, but doesn't look like one to me. House sparrow...

    THRUSH - NOVA SCOTIA CANADA OCT. 19 2022

    Definitely not and expert on thrushes. Maybe the experts here can confirm this better than I can. Had this bird in a tree in our yard this morning. I think it was interested in Virginia creeper berries that is climbing this particular tree. Whenever I see one I assume it's a Hermit Thrush, but...

    TURKEY VULTURE? NOVA SCOTIA CANADA OCT. 17

    Have seen these huge birds soaring around lately. Did some looking and I think Turkey Vulture, but didn't know we even had vultures around here. Looking for confirmation.

    What Flycatcher? Nova Scotia Canada October 26 2021

    Had this little fella drop by today. Some type of flycatcher but they all look so similar to me I can't tell many of them from another. Would anyone be able to nail down an ID for this bird?

    Warbler? July 27 Nova Scotia Canada

    This bird popped out of some nearby shrubbery and didn't seem too concerned with me. It looks to me like an Immature warbler but I could be wrong, and have no idea what kind. Anyone want to hazard a guess?

    Unknown small bird today Nova Scotia Canada

    Not my photo, someone passed it on to me wondering what it is. It's a young fledgling bird. I have no idea what this is either, I have never seen anything quite like it.. So far this is the only photo available to me. Any guesses appreciated.

    RUBY CROWNED KINGLET? - NOVA SCOTIA CANADA

    I may have mis-identified this bird as a flycatcher. It may in fact be a Ruby Crowned Kinglet. I'm not much good at warbler ID's sometimes. Any more experienced and smarter heads can totally feel free to correct me! Taken yesterday.

    Unknown Bird - Nova Scotia Canada

    Spotted this bird today in my yard. Thought initially it was a Red Winged Blackbird female, but now I don't think so, although I'm no expert and could be wrong. Anyone have an idea?

    Least Flycatcher? Nova Scotia Canada Sept. 2 2020

    Thought it might be a Least Flycatcher but not very well versed on these flycatchers. It looked pretty small, maybe Chickadee size. The 2nd shot it was in deep shadow so I had to brighten it a lot. Colours may be off because of that.

    Unknown Warbler Nova Scotia Canada Aug. 28 2020

    At first thought this was a young Yellow Rumped Warbler. But it kept wagging it's tail up and down in a way I haven't seen YRW's do. Maybe a young Palm Warbler?

    Sparrow Nova Scotia Canada August 28 2020

    Don't recognize this sparrow. At first I just took it for a Song Sparrow but after watching for a few moments I thought different. No idea what it might be.

    Cooper's Hawk? Nova Scotia. April 4 2020

    Would this be a Cooper's Hawk? I caught sight of this guy making a failed attempt on a Mourning Dove in my front yard. Then it flew into the woods across the road from our house. I thought it might be a Sharp Shinned Hawk at first, but this one seemed bigger. Sorry for the bad quality, these...

    Swainson's Thrush? Nova Scotia Canada

    Saw this bird today. Initially I took it for a hermit thrush. But the more I watched it the more I thought it was something else. After looking into it for a while I thought it might be a Swainson's Thrush. Anyone with an opinion? Thanks.

    Cooper'a Hawk? Nova Scotia Canada

    Could this be a Cooper's Hawk? I've had several Sharp Shinned Hawk's in the yard over the years. I have seen this hawk flying around a few times over the last few days, and this is the first time I nabbed a shot of it perched, and this one seemed bigger. I only got three shots of it before it...

    Bird Forum TV Gone?

    Can't get to the BF video site. No matter which way I try to get there, I get redirected to something called Croydon TV, which seems to be a dead page. Has Birdforum TV been hacked? Anyone else having this problem?

    Finch ID Nova Scotia Canada

    Initially I ID'd this bird as a Purple Finch female, but now I'm not sure. Or maybe a juvenile male, but some of it's colouring is throwing me off. None of the other purple finches we've seen in the last few weeks have the colouring this one has in it's throat area, and the top of head and...

    Female Redwinged Blackbird? Nova Scotia Canada

    Is this a female red winged blackbird? About the same size as a grackle, which I thought this was when I first saw it in the tree just above the feeder. Wasn't till it landed that I saw the feather patterns. I've had the lads here already, but never a female, and have never been this close to...

    Sparrow ID Nova Scotis Canada

    There's some debate as to whether this is a white throated sparrow or not. I'm thinking maybe a female or possibly a juvie. Anyone wishing to wade in on this, please feel free. Taken this morning in Nova Scotia Canada

    Unknown bird, Nova Scotia Canada

    This is a couple shots of a bird I'm unfamiliar with. Unfortunately the photos are taken hastily through windows on a dark and cloudy morning, and the bird was only there for a moment, so the quality sucks. The bird caught my eye because it was a dark looking bird and I didn't recognize it. I...

    Sparrow-Nova Scotia Canada

    A small sparrow, to me it looked slightly smaller than a song sparrow. Not too sure what kind of sparrow, can't seem to ID this one with any certainty. Possibly a Lincoln? Or a chipping? I just can't tell, any help appreciated. Spotted today in Nova Scotia
