Try again -
1. Am Goldfinch 2. Yellow Warbler 3. Evening Grosbeak 4. Black-shouldered Kite 5. Herring Gull as for 6. even with the extra pic - no idea! Looks like a Goldfinch/Siskin/Redpoll-type but can't think of one that fits that face pattern with dark wings and rearparts. I'll be happy if others are OK! |

6 must be a male Evening Grosbeak then! That was my first thought, but I thought it looked too small.
How about Killdeer for #3? 7 is another American Goldfinch, I think Tricky! |

good job EVGR it is good job on #6...
7 is not an AMGO ... but looks very similar and has been mentioned here but it wasnt the right pic... MSA both are wrong but your very close on AMGO but its an EVGR okay the bird flying is a water bird adn loves to sing in the middle of the night and is found all over the place! Hopefully that helps you guys out!

I assumed 6 and 7 were the same - if different, my am goldfinch is for 7 not 6.

Red-throated Diver (or loon as you call it) - assuming what I thought was the other wing is actually a head and neck!!

You know the interesting part is by coincidence I had a common loon fly right over me yesterday morning, though I didn't have a camera handy. Cool bird in flight too, as you know, with that big strong fat 9 lb. body, and those stubby triangular wings that are light colored underneath, and at around 20-21" each, aren't nearly as long as that 32" body... You ARE having a good time with this thread, aren't you, photo_luver? |
