    Bird ID Gambell, Alaska USA

    Thanks. Their behavior was throwing me off. Usually, they'd stay around where they landed until I get too close to them and they fly off. These just disappeared on me.

    Bird ID Gambell, Alaska USA

    These are heavily cropped photos so I don't know if they'll be enough for an ID. An hour later I flushed out 3 birds that might be the same as these but, when they landed in a small patch of wormwood maybe 80' away I couldn't get a photo of them and when I slowly walked over they never flushed...

    ID Help St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, USA

Upon closer look it looks like it has some yellow above the eyes and it's legs are not dark like a...

    Thank you all. After I posted another photo that I took later than the one above. The consensus in another forum says that this is a Chiffchaff. Possibly a Siberian.

    Warbler ID Please, W Alaska, USA

    I'm pretty sure this is the Willow Warbler that was sighted a few days ago here at Gambell, St. Lawrence Island, Alaska but, I'm not completely 100% sure. Found it today at the bone yard at the base of the mountain.

    Warbler & Finch Western Alaska USA

    Yes, I thought the Warbler looked familiar but after a Willow Warbler was sighted a couple days before I thought that might've been it. I think I found The Willow though, look at my new post. Ah, a Redpoll., I usually see them with a patch of red so this is a bit of a surprise. Thanks for the...

    Warbler & Finch Western Alaska USA

    Could these birds be a Willow Warbler and a Purple Finch? Found them at the bone yard at the base of Gambell, Alaska's mountain.

    Wagtail and Pipit? ID W AK USA St Lawrence Island

    Thank you all for the recommendations. Ordered the big Sibley. @dwatsonbirder Most of the birds I see are the usual migrants. e.g. Yesterday I only seen some Redpolls, Snow Buntings, Longspurs and Turnstones. Not very many birds at the bone yards that are next to the mountains. Oh, I did see a...

    Wagtail and Pipit? ID W AK USA St Lawrence Island

    I doubt I'll ever see an eastern bird here or over there. I just need a book that has local and accidental eurasian birds that come through here. Thanks for your help.

    Wagtail and Pipit? ID W AK USA St Lawrence Island

    I don't know. It has 4.8/5 reviews on Amazon. I did a quick search online and that was one of the suggested books besides NatGeo's.
