    Toronto spring: if limited to public transport, how much can I expect bird-wise?

    Have you looked at Birding Pal? They have a fairly large presence in Ontario.

    US--Tallahassee,FL-Jan-Unknown Feeder Warbler

    Both plumage and structure looks better for Nashville Warbler to me. I wouldn't discount it based solely on rarity.

    Stilt Sandpiper or Dunlin? tampa march 24

    You disagree?

    Stilt Sandpiper or Dunlin? tampa march 24

    My initially thought was Dunlin, but I believe that it is a Stilt Sandpiper. The birds legs are reflected in the water and they appear to be greenish, and too long for Dunlin.

    Central North Carolina, USA - Mystery Bird Calling at Night

    I get a bit of a Tundra Swan feel, but I certainly can't say for sure.

    Can you help me identify this bird call 1?

    I uploaded your file to Birdnet, but it was unable to come up with anything reasonable. The top choices were Baltimore Oriole and Eurasian Bullfinch, neither of which is likely.

    Can you help me identify this call 2?

    I uploaded your file to Birdnet, and it is coming up with California Thrasher for this bird.

    Baltimore Oriole Feeding Question

    Baltimore Orioles seem to switch to insects when they start feeding young. If they arrive the beginning of May, allowing for an 11 to 14 day incubation period, they would be feeding young mid May. A week after their arrival you could offer both, then pull your sweet foods once they no longer are...

    Chickadee Confusion in Hunterdon County NJ

    There is a good article by David Sibley on distinguishing between Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees here. Hunterdon County stretches from the northern edge of the Carolina Chickadee zone, across the hybrid zone, and into the southern part of the Black-capped Chickadee zone. They could be...

    Discussions about lens cleaning solutions on here are ALWAYS contentious. Someone suggests alcohol or acetone, and someone else says alcohol is a "universal solvent" and will destroy the coatings on your binoculars. This, despite the fact that most binocular manufacture's cleaning solutions...

    There is a "discussion" on a local site as to the ID of the bird on the right. Ontario, Canada.

    Looks fine for Red-winged Blackbird to me.

    Mississippi Kite in SE Minnesota?

    I would wager that the bird you saw was a Northern Shrike, the same thing that the person who started this thread saw. I can't find any records of either Mississippi Kite or White-tailed Kite in Minnesota in the winter.

    Merlin misled?

    This is the biggest issue when users don't allow Merlin to access their location. With this access, Merlin is able to search through a much smaller list of potential options, so you are much more likely to get the correct answer. Or, at least a more plausible answer. This is a...
