    Woodpecker type bird, Merritt Island, FL, USA

    Would appreciate some ID help with this bird. Seemed to behave like a woodpecker. Think I've seen a flicker at this location before but doesn't look like one to me. Thank you. Jack

    Would appreciate some help with IDs from these photos. 1 and 2 are surely the same. Not sure if 3 is enough to go on but I'll bet it is for all the experts on this forum. Thanks!

    Warblers and Woodpecker, Central FL, USA

    I was needing some help identifying at least a couple of these birds. They were photographed 4 September 2016. I could certainly be wrong but thought the first might be a Yellow-throated Warbler, the second a Downy Woodpecker (possibly juvenile), and no idea on the rest (I'm pretty sure the...

    Bird IDs Needed. Merritt Island, FL, USA

    These photos are all from 24 June, 2016 at Merritt Island, NWF. The birds in the 2nd photo were fairly distant and not a great angle so I'm not sure how identifiable they are.

    ID Please. Near Atlantic Ocean, East Central Florida, USA

    Was going through some old photos and found these. They were taken in in the late afternoon sun so the color is off. Unfortunately, no images from the sides or back. Only thing I can think of might be Loggerhead Shrike but I really have no idea. Thanks in advance.

    Two species, Merritt Island, FL, USA

    Saw these two kinds of birds today at Merritt Island NWR and would appreciate some help with proper IDs. The white bird was diving into shallow water. I suppose the others are grackles of some sort.

    Hawk, Central Florida, USA

    I saw this hawk atop a church today and was hoping for an ID. The bird was a long way away and the photo is heavily cropped so the photo isn't as sharp as I had hoped. I'm guessing Red-tailed but it seemed more heavily marked than I'm accustomed to seeing around here.

    Egret/Heron

    The Orlando Sentinel newspaper identified this bird as a snowy egret however it does not appear to me to be a snowy egret. My best guess is a white morph of a great blue heron, however, I would gladly welcome a correction. The location is the Wekiva River area in central Florida.

    Raptor, Central Florida, USA

    I know that it's probably impossible to tell from such a poor photo but does anyone have any idea what kind of raptor this is? I assume that it is an accipiter.
