    Duck ID help - Ontario

    I need some help identifying these ducks. They were on Lac Seul in Ontario Canada this week. I've looked through various duck id sites on the web, and can't find these good looking water fowl. Thanks for any help.

    Blue headed Vireo - Maybe??

    Captured pics of this bird in the canopy, of the Missouri Ozarks. May 11. Blue Headed Vireo is possibility. Although the beak seems too sharply pointed. Can't find any warblers that have these looks, though.

    Focus lost when I track flying birds from sky into noisy background

    I have Canon R7 with RF 100-500 lense. When I am tracking a bird, such as an Eagle across the sky, the focus is fine, but as soon as the background becomes busy with trees and other noise, the camera loses focus easily, and searches for focus again. Are there any settings which can help with...

    Which hawk is this?

    What part of the hawk is the primary crescent? The part of tail feathers furthest away?

    Which hawk is this?

    My guess is a sharp-shinned hawk. Seen February in Missouri.
