    Da Nang Vietnam Warbler

    I was only able to catch a partial photo of this bird. eBird gave me two options, Dusky Warbler or Manchurian Bush warbler. It was in a tree and flitting about. I am torn between the two. Thanks in advance Fritz Leip

    Palawan Philipines Bird ID

    I have three birds that I am unsure of. First one is possibly a cinnamon bittern. I saw it flying across a pond and landing in a bed of reeds. It was relatively small and was able to hang on to the reeds. My biggest source of uncertainty is the wing pattern as it was flying. I was pretty...

    Greetings, Novice birder looking for an identification for this small bird seen near sunset in Al Bidda Park in Doha. There are three on the fence, two up top and one down lower. The fence width was either one inch or two inches at most so these are pretty small birds. I could only get one...

    Qatar Bird ID

    Hi all, I am having a problem identifying this bird. I saw it on the 20th of October in the top of a small tree in the Hotel Park. It was smaller than the White Eared bulbul and was flying with another bird in almost constant motion. The Merlin App gave me Eastern Olivaceous Warbler, which...

    Greetings, I am relatively new to birding and recently walked a three mile section of the eastern edge of the Little Island where the Waterford Castle is located.

    Waterford Ireland Flock of Birds

    The flock stayed very close to the water. After I got that one shot, they flew below the bank presumably landing at the waters edge.

    Waterford Ireland Flock of Birds

    They were brown to tan on top and white below. The flock flew low and along the water in a very fluid flapping manner. I would say they were just a bit smaller than the black headed gulls in the area. There were many gulls in the area but they were not flocking together. I knew this was a...

    Waterford Ireland Flock of Birds

    ID this bird, please!

    While on a Harbor Cruise out of Dingle Ireland I was looking for Gannets and then I saw these three birds. We motored part them rather fast and this is the only picture I was able to get. Merlin give wildly different identifications from a merganser to a black guillemot. I am still a novice...

    Fieldfare. Seen in a park in Linkoping Sweden. We took the train up from Copenhagen to visit with family and had some time to waste. We headed to a park and while strolling I saw the fieldfare in under the trees.

    Ueno Park Japan Heron Identification Help

    II saw this heron in Ueno Park Lake on the 25th of April. It was a medium or small sized bird and the angle was not the best. In the second picture I zoomed in a bit and played with the contrast a little. The third image is what I would think is a Great Blue Heron, maybe I lived in Florida...
