    Parrot by description only, Grenada, so an escape

    I am currently in Grenada, where I today saw a short-tailed, green parrot (only seen in flight for a short time), which had a reddish speculum visible on the upperside of the wing, and which seemed to have dark (perhaps bluish) flight feathers. Wing beats were deep reminding me of Pionus sp...

    Peep Barbados mid March 2024

    Here is an image I am uncertain about. Merlin has Little Stint as first option, but that is a real rarity here. Second option is Western Sandpiper, and the bill seems in the short end for that one. So help wanted. best Niels

    WhatsApp on a PC?

    Where I live, we have a birdwatchers group on WhatsApp. I currently have whatsapp on my Iphone, but nowhere else. Is it possible to install whatsapp on the PC, and if I do, is it possible to ensure it is not running constantly in the background and doing who knows what, but only running when I...

    another albatross from the gallery

    This image was uploaded with a question mark and no one responded with much certainty. Is it a juvenile Indian Yellow-nosed? https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/albatross.549647/ Niels

    Sound id Santa Marta mts, Colombia August 2023

    Hi All, I am Linking two versions of a recording, one filtered somewhat and one without filtering (Linked to my Dropbox -- seemingly too big for birdforum to accept even in MP3 format?). Most of the way through the recording is Santa Marta Brushfinch - I know because it reacted to me playing...

    Albatross photo from gallery

    I came across this one. It seems to have a very strong black marking at the bill, so is it a Gibson's as stated or a S Royal Albatross? https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/wandering-albatross.289323/ thanks Niels

    Help needed for Opus: identification of the species in the Wandering Albatross complex.

    Dear all, as these have now been split, I am trying to make pages for these. I have more or less finished the page for Amsterdam: https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Amsterdam_Albatross I would love to get some help with the other three, especially for the identification section. Anyone who can...

    IPhone problem

    I have a problem lately. When I leave my phone lying around for a while (e.g., over night), it forgets the connection to wifi and goes back to doing data via the phone provider. This is irritating because I am cheap and do not load that much data into the phone. I am also cheap in the sense that...

    Royal vs "Wandering" Albatross

    This image was uploaded as Royal but a comment below indicates it should be from the Wandering complex, possibly Antipodean? Any help in getting the id firmed up? https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/royal-albatross.524473/ Niels

    Royal Albatross

    Hello all, this image was uploaded as Southern but might very well be Northern. I believe I have agreed with @binus1963 to ask for help in getting the correct id for it. https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/southern-royal-albatross.639012/ thanks Niels

    Royal Albatross from the gallery - post 4

    Dear all, this species needs to be split in the opus. In that context, I started looking at what we had in the gallery and which could be confirmed to be either northern or southern. Some are already labeled - but do they fit the current criteria? I will link to the last few photos in this post...

    Antpitta

    I thought there was a thread named Grallaria, but a search could not bring it up. We today received an email from ProAves in Colombia that they had discovered a large Antpitta in the El Dorado area of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, superficially similar to Undulated, but different enough that...

    Green Sandpiper vs Solitary - Barbados today

    Good evening all, is there a way to prove from an image that a bird was a Green Sandpiper from a photo of a standing bird? I very strongly believe this was one because I saw it in flight and it had a white rump. Solitary would have had dark center and barring on the sides in this area. Voice was...

    Slightly OT: translation from older german.

    Gundlack in 1878 published in German a paper, found in BHL at ser.4:Jahrg.26=no.141-144 (1878) - Journal für Ornithologie - Biodiversity Heritage Library (first of the two pages that interest me) I have a decent understanding of what it says and also used some google translate for support...

    Vagrancy of Siberian vs Tibetan Sand Plovers - anyone knows which?

    When checking our opus pages for this split, there are some places where an observation has been made of the pre-split Lesser Sand Plover. Can anyone help with figuring out which form was seen? First location is in Turkey: https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Goksu_Delta Next one in Poland...

    Barbary dove or hybrid

    Yesterday, I had two doves sit nicely for me, in a position where I could take photos of the undertail. My interpretation is that the right hand bird is certainly a Eur Collared Dove, with grey undertail coverts and black on outer vane of the outermost tail feather. However, the other seems to...
