    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.

    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...

    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?

    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 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.)

    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.

    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...

    Seen in Boston

    Was only able to take this rear view. Mockingbird, perhaps?

    just heard a moment ago. Could this be a cardinal?

    ID with sound please?

    I've been hearing this sound for the last couple of weeks. First I thought it was spring peeper, but I'm not sure. Any suggestion?

    Bird ID please (with sound)

    Just heard this morning. Boston, MA. What is making the warbling call heard at 0:00, 0:05, and 0:10? (maybe the 5 second interval is also another clue?)

    Bird ID please (with photos)

    Seen on my rooftop this morning. It may be abundant in my area, but its relatively long beak and gray plumage were foreign to me. I wish I'd had a camera with a longer focal length at hand. The attached photos were the best that I could do under the circumstances.

    What bird is this?

    Bird call ID please. Heard from my back yard around 6:30pm this evening. Boston, MA. Thanks.

    Northern flicker on my neighbor's metal chimney

    A norther flicker keeps coming to my neighbors rooftop chimney, sits on it and pecks it. It's a metal chimney too. I'm bemused by it, but my neighbor is obviously bothered by the loud noise, which she says reverberates throughout her house. Any idea why the bird is doing that? I've never...

    Which North American backyard birds are known to be more responsive to calls?

    I was amazed to discover that the calls and songs played from my smartphone bird field guide can actually attract backyard birds. I've had varying degrees of success depending on the species - chickadees are really responsive but I've had no luck with finches for example. So, which North...

    What kind of caterpillar is this?

    What kind of caterpillar is seen in the attached photo? Believe it or not, it came with the box of organic vegetables (mostly lettuce) that my wife bought from a nearby chain store. I'm in Boston, MA.

    I recorded the attached audio file from my backyard. Located in Boston, MA. Any suggestions?

    Is this pine tree infected with disease?

    This is my neighbor's tree that shows yellow discoloration in parts of its needles. (in the dead center of the attached photo) Is this due to disease?
