    Help ID'ing a Woodpecker

    I'm thinking a Downy because of its size compared to the suet feeder and the bars on the tail, but that long bill is confusing.

    Thrush ID Central Texas

    Here's another vote for Swainson's Thrush. One thing that I noticed while searching photos of Swainson's Thrush and Gray-Cheeked Thrush, is that many of the birds in the photos I looked at of Gray-Cheeked Thrush all had yellow coloring at the base of the lower mandible, while in the Swainson's...

    Definitely a Red-Tailed Hawk.

    Same Hawk? NJ, USA

    Definitely a Sharp-Shinned Hawk. Could likely be the same bird, especially if it had successful hunts in the same area before.

    2 SE Arizona sparrows, not White-crowned?

    Fox Sparrow. Right?

    Yes, a Fox Sparrow.

    Sharp-Shinned Hawk; broad streaking (probably varies) and "small" face.

    Last bird of 2012

    Probably Northern Cardinal (small group) seen feeding in the backyard at dusk.

    thrush in Central Park (NYC)

    I can't make out an eye ring and the most brown parts are the wings, so I would say a Grey-Cheeked Thrush, though I may be wrong.

    Agree.
  17. Sandhill Crane Lover

    Which leucistic species?

    Definitely a House Finch.
