    Help Please, Flycatcher, Southeastern Arizona, USA

    In an exceptionally political move, I retract my previous statement. I'd never seen a Western Wood-Pewee with quite so much yellow in its bill. But after looking at some pictures online the structure is definitely wrong for an empid, and the amount of yellow in the lower mandible seems...

    Help Please Southeast Arizona, USA

    Female Hepatic Tanager would match with the coloration, the gray eyeline/auriculars, bill shape and size. It's also in range for southeastern AZ.

    Help Please, Flycatcher, Southeastern Arizona, USA

    I'm admittedly poor with flycatchers, but I dont see why it couldnt be a Gray Flycatcher. Overall its a low contrast bird, has the pale lower mandible, and comparatively short primary projections, plus the wing bars are faint, although that could be an effect of the photo...

    Nice picture of an Eastern Phoebe, based on the black head and bill, shape, light coloration underneath, and the weak wing bars.

    Caprimulgus Species, Bell County, Texas

    Thanks for the response Motmot, I'd only ever seen the Common Nighthawk around here, and this surprised me this morning. Guess sometimes birds are literally right under your nose.

    Caprimulgus Species, Bell County, Texas

    This Nightjar was on the steps leading up to my apartment, in a downtown residential area this morning. I believe it is a Whip-poor-will, but I have never seen anything to compare it to. When the bird flew, it had white edges on its tail, no white wing bars, and was generally rusty/brown on...
