    In #3, both are Lesser Goldfinches (note the green back and white flash just visible on the folded wing). #5 is indeed a Bewick's... par for the course if there's food around.

    I'll suggest Abbott's Lagoon at Pt. Reyes or Ocean Beach in San Francisco.

    USA Mississippi coast sparrow of some sort

    Welcome to BirdForum! This is a Palm Warbler. (Note that it has the fine-pointed beak of a warbler, not the thick seed-cracking beak of a sparrow.)

    the nimitz trail, berkeley, ca

    Nimitz is the best place in the county for pygmies. Listen for the beeping noise in the pine groves (Somewhere out there, there is always a group of at least 8-10 birds. Sometimes that's the very first set of trees by the gate, sometimes you have to hike a mile and a half to the top of trail...

    Visiting San Jose, California, in December

    Second the field guide recommendation for Sibley. I agree with Richard that the San Mateo coast is a great idea for that free Saturday. For smaller amounts of time nearer San Jose I might suggest Ed Levin County Park, Coyote Hills Regional Park, and Pacific Commons Linear Park (the last has...

    Warblers & More - Dayton, Ohio April 2011

    Not likely in Ohio! I do think it's an oriole species, perhaps Orchard?

    Cuba or Mexico?

    I wouldn't anticipate any problems related to drug violence in the Cancun area; much of the drug-related violence in Mexico is in the northern borderlands, which are rarely visited by birders. (For the record: I flew into Cancun for birding and ruins in June 2008, and had no problems whatsoever.)

    Very stupid question...Peregrine Falcon or Red-Shouldered Hawk?

    This looks like a Red-tailed Hawk to me. Note the dark belly band; I would expect to see the wing stripes on a Red-shoulder in this posture.
  20. jthoppes

    Is this a Redpoll? Ontario, Canada

    Agree with Tree Sparrow.
