    Help! Sparrow nesting in Decorative Bird house?!

    I don't like non-native species causing problems, but where I'm from the House Sparrow is a native species, and its not doing so well :( So in a way, its nice to see it doing well somewhere in the wild. Although, like I say, If it really is causing problems, obviously thats not a good thing.

    USA birds ID please

    I think one of these is an immature Bald eagle, and one is a red-tailed hawk but i'd like confirmation before I can be 100% sure. The first 3 were taken in St. Louis, Missouri. The 4th was taken in Central Park, New york and the 5th was taken by the sea in New York.

    How to post thumbnail pictures in a thread?

    Hi, I'd like to post some pictures for people to help me with the ID. But when I try to attach my photo's from my SD card to a post, it says they're too big, and that I need to make them smaller manually. If anybody could please tell me how to do this, I would be grateful. Thanks
