    What is this bird?

    Here is the rest of the t-shirt. Obviously the rest are hummingbirds. Not sure if hummingbirds are abundant in Cuba too.

    What is this bird?

    Found on my daughter's t-shirt.

    Heard in the Boston area

    Not at the time of this particular recording, but that surely sounded like the cardinal calling that I often hear with cardinal sighting in my backyard. Do you think it was something else?

    Heard in the Boston area

    Please help me identify this call. (There are two different calls in this recording. One, a metallic call, is a cardinal. I'm curious about the other, more constant call.) Thanks in advance!

    Help ID this call please

    Heard in the greater Boston area. The bird was the size of a finch, but I couldn't ID it because the sun was right behind the tree.

    Bird call ID help please

    That might be it! The red-bellied woodpecker call from my iPad app closely resembles my recording. These birds appear fairly often in my area too. Thanks!

    No, it wasn't near a lake or pond.

    Bird call ID help please

    Heard in the greater Boston area. I’ve lived in this area for a while, but I don’t recall this particular call.

    What laid these eggs?

    Coming back from a trip, I found these eggs stuck on the patio door. These photos are not of the highest quality, but can someone tell what may have laid these eggs? One is taken facing the glass door, the other from a 45-degree angle to provide any sense of 3-D. Each is about pin-head sized. I...

    Id from call please (mockingbird?)

    I agree it's robin. American robins are really common in my neighborhood, and yet I keep forgetting their call.

    Id from call please (mockingbird?)

    The variety of the call leads me to lean towards mockingbird, but any suggestions?

    Can birds sense impending storms?

    Can birds sense impending storms? There is huge snow storm coming up in the Northeast (predicted to be of historic magnitude), and incidentally I saw a lot of bird activities this morning in the nearby woods. I heard woodpeckers pecking, which I think is rare in the winter. I seem to remember...

    Is this a red-tailed hawk?

    Thanks for the confirmation folks. That hawk was huge!!! It doesn't look that big in the photo, because perspective is lost in that tiny picture. But I can say it was as big as 5 or 6 crows, which is the biggest species that I see on a regular basis in my neighborhood, put together. I can...

    Is this a red-tailed hawk?

    Is this a red-tailed hawk? I was very excited to be able to take this picture. Hawks do come to a nearby forest from time to time but they rarely stay perched long enough for me to grab a camera and take a shot. This one did this morning.

    Bird call (New Hampshire)

    I think you are right. I've looked up Red Squirrel sound clips on the internet, and they match my recording. Thanks!

    Bird call (New Hampshire)

    I heard this trilling bird call at a wooded campground in New Hampshire. I think I heard it coming from a shrub too, if it means anything. (The loud background noise is the sound of the nearby brook.)

    Whose call is this?

    Yes, the file name indicates the date on which it was recorded. My recording app automatically names the file with the current date. The sound was coming from a forest not far from my house, and, yes, there is a pond in the middle of the forest. Based on the responses here, I concluded that it...

    Is this a Northern Cardinal?

    I use my Android smartphone to record bird calls. I use an app called "tape-a-talk", but any recording app will do. After that, I just move the file to my desktop computer and attach it to my post. Recording, moving and attaching is not that complicated. What gets complicated is when the...

    Where is the rattling call coming from?

    Thanks for this answer as well as the other two!

    Where is the rattling call coming from?

    In the attached recording of a mocking bird song, you can also hear a rattling sound about 3 seconds long, at the beginning and at 15 second, coming from a second bird. What's making it? By the way, I was recording a typically long, incessant, highly varied song of a mocking bird when I also...

    Is this a Northern Cardinal?

    I think I've heard all the variations of cardinals, but I'm not sure about this one.

    Bird call ID please?

    Heard in Boston, MA last evening. I'm clueless.

    This is fantastic! Thanks so much!

    Are there regional lists of most common birds published by birders or societies?

    Just a few days ago, I spotted a black bird with orange patches on its wings that I had never seen before. Upon checking with the online bird ID website, I realized that it was a red-winged blackbird, supposedly one of the most common birds in my area. That made me wonder. What are some other...
