    Mew Gull in Connecticut?

    Thanks guys. I should have stuck with my gut. When I first saw the bird I dismissed it as a Ring-billed. But the more I looked at it, the more I thought it didn't quite look right. It seemed a bit small and dainty to me. It's been a long time since I've been out in the field birding so I...

    Mew Gull in Connecticut?

    Actually my first thought when I saw the bird was Ring-billed. The more I looked at it I wasn't so sure. It struck me as smaller / daintier than a Ring-billed. I took the pictures so I'd have something to use for an ID once I got home to my Sibley's field guide. I haven't been out birding much...

    Mew Gull in Connecticut?

    I saw this gull while birding at Hammonasset Beach State Park. It looks like a first summer Mew Gull to me. But when I check the range maps for CT it would be a rare bird for the state.

    Castaway Cay, Bahamas

    Wow 100 views and no one to venture an ID. I believe the first bird is a Palm Warbler. Still seeking confirmation or an ID on the 2nd bird.

    Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas Birds

    4)Not 100% sure but I think this is a Pink-footed Shearwater. Seen in the water near Cabo San Lucas. The bird had a pink, black tipped bill. 5)I have no idea. I saw this bird while we were at sea. Somewhere between Los Angeles and Cabo San Lucas. The bird was sitting on the water when I...

    Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas Birds

    Just got home from a Disney Cruise to Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. I've been able to ID most of my photos but I need help and/or confirmation on a few of them. 1) I'm pretty sure this is an Orange-fronted Parakeet.

    Alaska / Canada Gulls

    Lou thanks for all your help. The Glaucous Gull's upperparts were very pale grey. They look bleached out in the photos because the gull was quite a distance from the ship. The first image shows the grey on the upperparts best.
