    Thanks Andrew - shame about the Becard, but I half knew it wasn't - it was too far from the Becard nest that was in the area!

    South East Arizona, April 4th 2021

    I just spent a fantastic 3 days in South East Arizona. Over 1000 images taken! On day 1 I spent time in Tubac, on the De Anza Trail, then to Madera Canyon. These IDs are giving me some problems (back story, I am color blind and find some IDs very challenging). Can anyone hep with these IDs...

    Gilbert Arizona March 13th

    Can someone help me identify this please? It was the only one on the lake with this coloring. About twice the size of a Mallard. Thanks

    Hello all. Could someone offer me an ID on these birds please? I am thinking Red-tailed Hawk and Ruby-crowned Kinglet, but having trouble with my color perception. Thanks.

    I always have trouble with correct IDs because I am color blind. No matter how many other distinguishing features of a bird I look at, color always plays an important part. For that reason I post after nearly every outing in the Bird ID thread, so that I can maintain an honest record of my...

    The only other images I got from this immediate area were of female and juvenile yellow rumped warblers. I don't suppose this could be the juvenile?

    Happy Sunday all, Got this image about 2 hours ago, thinking this is a Gray Flycatcher - taken in open desert brush. Any thoughts to my identification would be gratefully received. Alex

    Tucson Arizona

    Hello all, I am really struggling with this - my color blindness shows me this as all grey, but my wife tells me differently. From her description I wonder if this is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Anyone confirm for me please?

    Thank you both for the information... I consider it a huge success that I only had one "unknown" this time and that my id skills appear to be getting better!!

    Phoenix, Arizona, USA - 24th October

    Thank you - I appreciate the compliment and the ID. Not sure that it helps, but this was in the same area, and I had initially ID'd this as a Savannah Sparrow.

    Thank you all so much - turned out with 54 species photographed. This is the last of the unknowns - thanks for all the help!! I think the last is a Say's Phoebe, but again, my color blindness is playing in to the question and I am not sure if I can see mottling down the chest.

    Tucson Arizona

    Thank you both - my color-blindness is obviously not as much of an issue as my inaccurate sparrow and wren identification. Looks like I will end up with close to 60 photographed species from this trip - with some more that I can't ID. Thanks.

    Tucson Arizona

    Good morning all, A few taken from a trip to Tucson Sweetwater Wetlands this week. Trying to make my own IDs but confused by these. I was with another photographer who was coming up with other IDs to mine. If I go with his, I can add to my life-list, but want to keep myself honest 1) I think...

    Arizona - Day Off

    Hello all, I have been granted an unexpected day off next Wednesday and thinking I would like to venture out of the Phoenix Area for some bird photography. I was thinking about SE Arizona, but my reading suggests that Fall migration is over. Anyone have any suggestions for areas to visit within...

    Thank you - it is good to have a set of functional eyes confirm colors for me :), even if the result is ambiguous! Thanks again Nutcracker!

    I appreciate the help - can't believe I did not spot #1 in the guide when I was going through it last night! Stood out like a sore thumb when I knew what to look for! #2 is an awful image, so will not be surprised if no ID is forthcoming. #3 - I struggle with this one... one of my downfalls is...

    Good evening, Had a very enjoyable day exploring the Rio Salado reserve in Central Phoenix yesterday. Having some trouble with these IDs though. Any help would be gratefully received. I think 4 and 5 are the same.
