    Gull I.D - Toronto, ON, Canada

    Hello Birders, I saw this gull: http://www.flickr.com/photos/levfrid/4304143081/ Amongst a bunch of Herrings and Ring-billeds. It had a dark iris (For sure, good views in variety of light), and a very minimal red gonys spot (Not nearly as large as the nearby herrings). It was near Herring...

    Hummingbird I.D - Honduras North Coast

    Hi All, Had this strange hummer mobbing a Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl at sea level near La Ceiba. Looks a bit like Garnet-throated but no rufous wings and would be horribly out of range and altitude. What do you think? http://www.flickr.com/photos/levfrid/3421094653/ Thanks in Advance, Lev Frid

    Redpoll I.D Ontario, Canada

    Hi all, I identified a Hoary Redpoll in my yard in flight showing the distinctive white rump. I left for school with the Feeder Cam on and was curious if I had caught him or not. Granted they are a bit more difficult to I.D when perched! http://www.flickr.com/photos/levfrid/3181392952/ Click...

    Wilson's Snipe/Woodcock Flight I.D, Ontario, Canada

    Hello all, Today whilst walking the dog I had a Snipe/Woodcock do a fly-by and circle me a couple of times. The wingbeats were never above the back and the wings were held low, and flapping was very fast. There was a soft "weee-weee" sound, sort of like a Catbird, but softer, but I'm not sure...

    possible Le Conte's Sparrow - On, Canada

    Hello All, The scaly pattern on the back screams Le Conte's for me, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions as it is a rare bird for this area, also the apparent absence of yellow buff. I did, however, observe it in an area famous for it's presence during migration. The only other thing it...
