    Hi All, Trying to ID a bird I spotted this morning at a mixed marsh/woodland habitat near Rochester, NY. It looks like some kind of sparrow, but my sparse bird ID skills are failing me. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    ID for Pennsylvania bird--maybe a Pipit?

    Hi All- I was visiting relatives in northern PA this weekend and had the opportunity to spend a little time birding a marsh area known as "The Muck". Saw lots of great birds, but I haven't been able to see the one in the attached picture. It looks like a thrush. Could it possibly be a Pipit...

Sure, I'd love a 7D, a gazillion mm lens and a pair of Swarovskis someday, but for now I'm pretty happy with my equipment. My current kit: - Nikon Monarch 8x42 binoculars -...

    I'm stumped.

    Thanks, everyone. Robin just didn't seem right to me because of the season and I could only see it from the back. The upside is that even though it's common, it's my first for the year. Appreciate your expertise.

    I'm stumped.

    I caught a few quick pics of this bird in a tree across the street this morning. The sighting was in a suburb of Rochester, NY (western NY). I'm a newbie, but it's not like anything I've seen so far. Wondering if someone with more experience can help me with an ID. Thanks!

    Thanks, everyone. The beak definitely threw me. My first instinct was wren, but it didn't seem to fit. Much appreciated.

    Song Sparrow? Western NY

    I'm a bit of newbie, but I caught a few, admittedly poor quality, shots of a bird in the Thousand Acre Swamp (Monroe County, NY) this morning. I'm guessing it might be a Song Sparrow, but I'm wondering if someone with a little more experience can help me out. Thanks!
