    Wood Peewee ? Southern Ontario

    No more images I'm afraid.............it's immature if that makes a difference ( I'm looking at the corner of the mouth.....remnants of the yellow bit...don't know if it has a name) Thanks both.

    Wood Peewee ? Southern Ontario

    My guess is a juvenile Wood Peewee but none of my books show the eye colour this bird has. Red/dark brown. Other suspects would include gt. crested flycatcher and phoebe also seen in this garden. Thanks Robin

    Warranty etc for new Canon 600mm F4

    I'm picking up one of the above next week. Could anyone give me an idea of what I need to be considering. Does it come with a reasonable warranty, should I purchase an extended one ? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Osprey mating/ eggs

    Anybody know how soon after mating you could expect the female to lay and remain on her eggs ? I can observe a nest from my deck (in Southern Ontario) with my Kowa scope. The pair arrived within a day of each other on Saturday. They may have come together, I don't know...

    Kinglet?

    Mbarath............I think you are on the right lines ...........I also photograph birds and spend minutes, many minutes, large parts of an hour and often longer watching birds as I wait for the opportunity to capture an image. I think my ID skill set has improved a lot because I have a...

    Fully Leucistic Cardinal

    Maybe this gives a better idea of this bird. Essentially white with a very pale brown flush on it's breast....I would have thought fully leucistic, but other than the web site I referenced, I don't know. To see it live was a real jaw-dropper. I was with 2 other experienced...

    Fully Leucistic Cardinal

    As in the message title, fully leucistic N.cardinal, female I guess because she is accompanied by a male. I'm calling it this not from personal experience but from this web site. It's the first seriously leucistic bird I've seen but from Sibley's description, if there is a gradation from...
