    Confirmation of a few IDs, Miami, FL.

    Is it possible that the second bird is an Orange-crowned Warbler?

    Yes, indeed, Yellow-headed Blackbirds. Lyn

    Finch, Tomball, Texas

    Interesting. I hadn't thought about a PFxHF hybrid. With that in mind, I don't think it's possible to identify this bird based on one image. Lyn

    Finch, Tomball, Texas

    I would agree with Purple Finch. The red extends down the back of the neck and I don't see any streaking along the sides of the belly.

    What Bird? West Central Indiana

    I have heard Tufted Titmice giving that call. Threw me the first time I heard it, too.

    Bird ID - Southern California, USA

    The bill looks too thick for Pipit and the streaking on the sides looks too dark, to me. Maybe, Song Sparrow?

    What kind of bird is this? Rhode Island, USA

    Tufted Titmouse, maybe? They nest in cavities.

    Unknown Pink bird, Potomac, MD, USA

    Leucism is due to a genetic mutation so a leucistic individual would not be considered a subspecies. Since it only affects the pigment in the feathers the bird is not considered to be sick either. It might make the bird easier for a predator to see and make a meal of or it may never find a mate...

    Juvenile Verdin? Tucson, AZ, USA

    Well, Verdins are known to visit nectar feeders so that could be what it was. The other small grayish bird with a small bill in Arizona would be Bushtit.

    Unknown Pink bird, Potomac, MD, USA

    Cool photos! I would say this is a leucistic House Finch.

    US - South Dakota Grosbeak?

    I agree that it's a Dickcissel; possibly a female. Some females show brighter yellow than others or it may be a male with the black throat not showing due to the angle of the pic.

    LOUD song, I've never heard before. USA, WI sound file

    I've listened to the recordings several times now and to me it sounds more mechanical than biological. (That maybe a combination of my ears, the quality of the recording and my speakers.) But birds do not vocalize all day, non-stop, day after day. Does the sound stop during the day at any...

    Ohio U.S.A, ID please

    It looks like a Swamp Sparrow without a tail to me. Birds sometimes lose their tails when escaping from a predator, such as a cat. Staying low to the ground and in dense brush is typical Swamp Sparrow behavior.
