    Flycatcher in N. Greece

    Hi all, Made this short video recording of a Flycatcher scolding me today. It was a mixed forest habitat, not far from water, at about 600-800 m elevation. Thrace, northern Greece. Let me know if you have any trouble opening the link. Thanks! https://youtu.be/NdxjEFR38Y8

    Juvenile Shrike Northern Greece

    Observed this juvenile Shrike today in Thrace, Greece. Open, cultivated habitat at sea level. Both Woodchat and Masked Shrikes reported in the area. Noticed it continuously moved it’s tail up and down in wagtail-like fashion. Thanks in advance.

    Black birds in Ouagadougou

    Hi all, Hope a Sahel expert can help me with these very poor photos, shot this morning at the Parc Urbain Bangr-Weoogo in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. I’ve left in the Laughing Dove for size comparison. I noted the pale bill and fairly long, marked tail. Thanks in advance!

    Brewer’s Blackbird, Delaware, today?

    Hi all, A friend of mine digiscoped this Blackbird at long distance, associating with Red-winged Blackbird. His (and my) impression is of a Brewer’s Blackbird rather than the more expected Rusty Blackbird or Common Grackle. What do you all think? Thanks!

    Two Dhaka birds, today

    Hi all, Hope you can help me with these two birds. Sorry on the blurriness of the raptor, it was moving fast (chased away by some House Crows). 1. Brahminy Kite? https://photos.app.goo.gl/7dIf1dL2w5Wl6Udy1 https://photos.app.goo.gl/IUdwXjj1ANnXTeYu1 2. Brown Shrike...

    African bird in BBC Earth

    Hi all, Curious what species (or at least genus) this bird from a documentary about black-footed cats is (the cat catches and eats it a few seconds later :( ). No idea which African country specifically except it overlaps in range with the cat, so presumably Sourh Africa, Namibia or Botswana...

    Bird calls - Ninh Binh province, Vietnam 12/17

    Unfortunately calls only as the birds refused to show themselves clearly in the bamboo. I think two species - one calling throughout and then a different sound at the end. Any ideas? Thanks! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qSpGoRj8VhjR5OTZDXBV_Mzms_Z2Om5w

    “Countability” of Bar-headed Geese in the Netherlands

    Hi all, Not sure which forum this question fits in, but do European authorities consider Bar-headed Geese “countable” for the Netherlands (i.e. a stable, breeding population) or are they treated as escaped exotics? Trying to decide whether to include the one I saw today in my life list. Thanks!

    Warbler, Aruba 11/17

    Hi all, This is not my photo, posted to a Facebook group. My initial impression was of a Nashville Warbler, but from my understanding this would be an extraordinary sighting in Aruba. Thoughts?

    Mockingbird feathers in LA?

    Hi all, A bird outside my house clearly had a run-in with a cat or perhaps a hawk. Assuming these are from a Northern Mockingbird? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BycqOtDKnmSuY1UxcTVKdWJ0algxbDk3YlF3WHByeU5pYTBz https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BycqOtDKnmSuaGt0MlNYM0xPbGZocWM5aUFEdmwyYmRpRkFF

    Strange songbird in Maryland

    Someone from a Facebook group I'm a part posted this photo from the Maryland-Pennsylvania border. I guess it's a juvenile of some kind but I'm quite puzzled. Note the white is a seed in its mouth, not the bill. Any idea?

    Raptor in Los Angeles

    Spotted today in Peck Park. Noticeably smaller than the two Cooper's Hawks also hanging around the park, so I'm leaning towards Sharp-shinned. Thoughts? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BycqOtDKnmSuQjBmTTYzUVZoTUk Thanks!
