    Waterthrush?

    Thanks a lot guys. Wish I was better at telling the difference between the two.

    Waterthrush?

    I've been debating with a friend about whether the image at Pearson's Falls is a Louisiana waterthrush or a Northern waterthrush. It's the last (and only bird) image on the page. I say it's a Louisiana waterthrush, but my friend thinks it's a Northern waterthrush. My friend thinks it's a...

    Snow Geese and and other waterfowl

    Going to visit some relatives in Maryland for Thanksgiving. Bombay Hook in Delaware looks like a very good place for waterfowl observation Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge Does anybody have any experience with the area? Would it be good during Thanksgiving week?

    Painted Buntings

    One of the things I like to do when traveling down I-95 through Georgia during the spring and summer is stopping by Harris Neck NWR to check out the painted buntings. This is one of my favorite spots for the bird. I realize not a big deal for you folks who live on the coast, but I live in the...

    Stecoah Gap

    KC, glad you liked the article though everything I read about the place implied it would be spectacular for birding. Realize I might not be up to par with my birding skills as some of the authors, but I expected a little more. I still think the logging traffic probably affected my visit. I have...

    Stecoah Gap

    I visited Stecoah Gap NC for the first time this spring. It really wasn't as spectacular as I expected from a birding standpoint. I had fair luck, but was expecting much more. I think the logging vehicles going up and down the trail deterred some of the breeding warblers in the area. Not sure...

    Kentucky Warbler

    40 Acre Rock Glad you liked it. The rock is really more about the flora, but I was so tickled about the Kentucky Warbler I wanted to share. Come down and visit sometime. To see the endangered pool sprite you want to visit during the last two weeks in March or the first week in April. 40 Acre Rock

    Kentucky Warbler

    I have the worst luck in locating Kentucky Warblers. I occasionally hear them, but rarely get to observe them. Guess I am not a great birder. Anyway, I found a spot in SC that is great for Kentucky Warblers, Forty Acre Rock. If you go past the rock overlook next to the beaver pond, cross over...

    Saw Whet Owl

    Thanks so much for the info. I was thinking about trying March anyway. It's not so much about seeing them, though I would love to, I mainly want to hear them.

    Saw Whet Owl

    Do you know what season\months they breed? That may be the best time to hear their calls. If they breed in the area.

    Saw Whet Owl

    That does help. Especially the months you listed. Roam Mountain, White Top, and Mount Rogers sound like a possibility for me. Thanks so much. Joe K.

    Saw Whet Owl

    What is the best season/time to hear a Saw Whet Owl in in the mountains of VA? Also what are you favorite locations?

    St. Augustine Alligator Farm Video

    I know the Alligator Farm might not fit the wild Florida image. And while I personally have a preference for songbirds, earlier in the year I ventured to the Alligator Farm a couple of times to try to make a video of the bird rookery. My concern is the included footage of the photographers. Do...

    Dolly Sods information

    Just curious what Dolly Sods has in the way to offer from a birding standpoint. I may be there soon with family. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also what about the Canaan Valley in general. Thanks.

    IPhone 3G Field Guide, etc.

    Hey Neil, IBird Explorer Pro or National Geographic Handheld Birds both work as a Field Guidesfor the iPhone. I think the Thayer software is better for testing yourself on the bird songs of North America than for the actual study of bird songs. Both version 5.0 and 3.0 lets you download the...

    iBird Explorer Pro vs. Nat Geo Handheld Birds

    No both devices have to be either an Apple iPhone or iTouch. The other ipods are not designed to handle that type of software. Though I will say National Geographic Handheld Birds is offered for some other pda devices. And there is a product called 'Birdjam' that contains loads of bird songs...

    iBird Explorer Pro vs. Nat Geo Handheld Birds

    This is only applicable to North America birding. Though I am sure that may change as both applications, along with the vendors, develop. Recently I purchased the National Geographic Handheld Birds for the iPhone/iTouch device from Apple. Already had the iBird Explorer Pro. Comparing the two...

    iBird Explorer Pro software review

    A month or so ago I purchased the iBird Explorer Pro from apple for my iPhone. The software is strictly for North American birds at the moment. So far I have really enjoyed the software. There two things lacking in 'my opinion'. There are no field mark notations on the illustrations, sometimes...

    Warbler Road Virginia

    Thanks for the comment on the photos. Of course for every photo that looks ok, I have a 100 of the same subject that is terrible.

    Brewster's Warbler ? Max Patch Road, NC USA

    Thanks JanJ. I am concerned a little about the amount of black behind the eye on the side of the bird. Other photos I have seen don't seem to have this, nor did the one on the link you shared. Then again, the bird does have a white throat (as opposed to black). And probably there are many...

    Warbler Road Virginia

    Thanks for the welcome Dave, I probably should have introduced myself instead of jumping right in. Neat site, I think I can learn some things here.

    Brewster's Warbler ? Max Patch Road, NC USA

    I found what I think are two different Golden-winged/Blue-winged Warbler hybrids (Brewster's Warbler) in the vicinity of Max Patch Road, North Carolina in the Appalachian mtn's. Sitings occured around 5/25/09 I orginally thought both were Brewster's Warblers, but I am second guessing the second...

    Warbler Road Virginia

    I had high hopes for Golden-winged and Blue-winged. The problem with those two is the scrubby field environment where they live can change after a year or two and grow up with trees. I think those two are always on the move because the habitat they prefer usually changes. One species I expected...

    Warbler Road Virginia

    Just wanted to say what a great place you Virginians have for Warblers, specifically the Warbler Road birding route off of the Blue Ridge parkway. I went there and was totally amazed at the diversity of Warblers in the area... Canada, Black-and-White, Cerulean, Black-throated Blue...
