    Unusual American Crow Behavior (Canada)

    Needing some help. I am pretty sure this was an American Crow, probably a juvenile. He perched in the spuce tree behind our rental unit in Canmore, Alberta last month and did something I have never seen or heard before. I am hoping someone with more bird knowledge can explain it to me. About...

    Sprague's Pipit? Texas Gulf Coast

    You never know when you are going to have a good day

    I was out today and it was slow. I drove to George Bush Park (that's named after the father) in West Houston and counted 33 Yellow-crowned Night Herons. When I saw this one, I knew he was up to something. Sure enough, he caught a big crawfish. They always remove the dangerous claws...

    Warbler ID-Texas Coast

    I need help with an ID on this tiny bird from yesterday. I got nice close shots but I can not figure out what it is. Thanks for any assistance. (I am not seeing my images on preview so I may not be doing this right, sorry, new member).

    Hello, I just joined based on a suggestion from POTN Canon BBS. I have a difficult warbler ID that I need your help on. As soon as I can figure out how to post my photos, I will ask in the ID section. This looks like a great site to me.
