    Sandpiper Barnegat, NJ 12-09-2023

    This bird was on the Jetty acting like a Purple Sandpiper but looking like a Least without the brown on the breast. Any thoughts?

    Flycatcher identification - Bombay Hook, Delaware 8/6/2022

    There is discussion about the bird in these three picture. Some insist that is a Willow Flycatcher, others an Eastern Pewee. The Pewee camp says it has long wings, the Willow camp say it has a pale undertail cover and not enough smudging on the breast. Any thoughts? Thanks, John

    Small finch type bird in Bavaria, off Main River, 06-18-23

    This bird was near a bunch of Greenfinch, but I am thinking it may be a Serin. Not the best picture, but no yellow and a gray bill. Thanks, John

    Raptor in Bavaria June 15, 2023

    Thanks all, it has been helpful. I am going with Kestrel, I got one much closer today, so they are definitely in the area.

    Raptor in Bavaria June 15, 2023

    It was distant, and I thought Accipiter, but it disappeared so quickly. Merlin and iNaturalist both say Kestrel, but to me the wings don't look pointy enough, Falcon was not my initial impression, but it was a quick look. John

    Raptor in Bavaria June 15, 2023

    I saw this raptor at a distance and thought Sparrowhawk or Harrier. I got two distant pictures and neither seems to fit the bill, any thoughts? John

    Shorebird Id's Pak Thale Nature Reserve Thailand 2/20/23

    I really appreciate your help but want to be sure we are looking at the same bird, so I zoomed in much closer than I usually liked to. The bird in question is the only one in this picture with its head up and is heavily speckled. Thanks.

    Shorebird Id's Pak Thale Nature Reserve Thailand 2/20/23

    Two of these pictures are of the same group of birds. In one, there is a larger bird with its head up and a longish bill, somewhat near the center, possibly a Godwit. In the second, there is a small, speckled bird about 1/3 from the left edge and I am wondering if it is a Dunlin, it seems to...

    Not very nice pictures, but possibly the bills can give a hint as to what they are. Thanks,

    White-faced Plover? on Laem Phak Bia sand spit Thailand 2/19/23

    Thanks, looking at the book carefully, the Malaysian does seem to have a higher forehead, I guess I missed the White-faced.

    White-faced Plover? on Laem Phak Bia sand spit Thailand 2/19/23

    My guide said this was a white-faced plover, but neither Merlin or iNaturalists agree, they call it Kentish. It does seem to have a higher forehead and whiter face than the other Kentish I saw. Which is this? Thanks, John

    Thanks, The forked tail had me fooled, I appreciate the help, more to come.

    Drongo from Kaeng Kratchen NP Thailand 2/17/23

    I thought this was either a Sooty or Blackish Drongo in the Ashy Drongo family, but now I am questioning my identification.

    Flycatcher Cape May, NJ Oct. 2, 2021

    This flycatcher popped up but didn't stay long, unfortunately, a branch through the eye makes it tougher. It appears to have a yellow wash on the neck, but that may be an artifact of the early morning lighting. Thanks

    Western or Semi-palm sandpipers Stone Harbor, NJ October 2, 2021

    These very plain sandpipers have me confused, some are saying semi-palm others western. They were with a bunch of Sanderling on the beach and several of these peeps. The bill seems to droop slightly, but doesn't look as long as I would have thought. Thanks,

    Warbler, Rangeley Maine August 27

    Possibly, I had Bay-breasted around, this just seemed darker. I guess I'm not the only one who cannot get Merlin to give me what I'm looking for.

    Common vs. Forster's Tern? Leamington, ON, Canada

    I'm not sure, but the wingtips on the upper bird seem to extend well beyond the tail and it appears to have a white breast, which would make it Forster's. Lower bird is tougher, cannot make out the breast color. If it is gray, then it would be Common.

    Cooper's vs. Sharpie? Downsview Park, Toronto, ON, Canada

    Juvenile Cooper's, thin dark chocolate streaks vs. thick milk chocolate streaks for Sharpie. Also tail is fairly rounded.

    Warbler, Rangeley Maine August 27

    I should know this warbler, but am drawing a blank. Merlin thinks it is an Orange Crown Warbler, but it appears to have a wing bar Which would eliminate Orange Crown.
