    I saw this bird way out in the water and so the photo isn't that great. This was taken at Imperial Beach south of San Diego today at the Mexican Border. Is this possibly a jaeger? Thank you for comments. Gail

    ID Help - California sea bird (dead, sorry...)

    It didn't seem to be as big as a Common Murre, but now that I am seeing the size of the first one I suggested, it wasn't that small either. I guess it must be a Common Murre. Thanks a lot for the responses! Gail

    ID Help - California sea bird (dead, sorry...)

    We are on vacation in San Diego, California this week and were walking along the beach today (Imperial Beach) at the Mexican border and found this dead bird on the beach. I can't seem to ID it from my book. The only thing I found that it kinda looks like is a Craveri's Murrelet. Could that be...

    ID Help - South Texas Kingbird

    This seems to further complicate... I found this link to Cornells with comparisons of Tropical, Couch and Western. http://www.birds.cornell.edu/crows/kingbirdsX.htm This is great to see side-by-side for comparisons...(though I didn't like seeing them deceased...) I have two more photos...

    ID Help - South Texas Kingbird

    Hi all, I was in south Texas, South Padre Island about a week ago and photographed this kingbird. I thought I had gotten a video of its song, but it didn't happen. The weather was kind of bad during our trip so the photo isn't as crisp as I would have liked. Could this be a Tropical or...

    ID Help - Arizona Flycatchers

    I am finally getting through my 7,500 photos taken in Arizona back in May this year. These flycatchers were taken at Ramsey Canyon in Hereford, Arizona in May 2011. I never heard any sounds from them and I am very tentative at flycatcher IDs. Two are the same bird with different head pose...

    ID Help USA California Tri-colored Blackbird?

    I took some shots of a flock of what I thought RWBBs yesterday in Fremont, CA (San Francisco Bay Area). When I was processing the photos, I was not sure this was a RWBB, but perhaps a Tri-colored Blackbird. The bird was a bit in the distance and this is the best I can provide. I looked in all...

    The location is SF Bay Area in Hayward today. There were reports of two birds at the Hayward Shoreline, a Chestnut-collared Longspur and a Lapland Longspur. I got photos of this bird, but it doesn't quite look right for either of those. Unfortunately, my camera was focused on the dead...

    In California - Sparrow ID help please...

    Nice shots of this bird. I've been to Las Vegas three times and have actually 'seen' the BTSP, but it never cooperated for my camera. I still can't believe I actually saw it. I am up early today and heading back over there to see if I can find it again. Never, ever thought I would see one so...
