    Buteo ID

    Hello all, I saw three Buteo sp. together with a Black Vulture circling overhead in southeastern PA, USA today. One of the three showed translucent crescents on the wingtips, pointing me to a young Red-shouldered Hawk but the other two lacked this crescent and have a slightly different...

    Gull ID in Eastern PA

    Hello all, These birds were photographed on 9/15. I believe they're either Herring Gulls or Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Are the gulls identifiable based on this picture? My field guide notes that LBBG should have a small white spot near the tip of the underwing (adult birds - there is one...

    Help with duck id

    Hello, I saw this duck today in standing water in a corn field after last night's nor'easter (I'm about 20 miles north of Philadelphia). In the same "puddle" there was a male Northern Pintail. This bird was similar in size, but stockier than the Pintail. In this photo the duck in question...

    Help with Eastern PA Bird ID

    Hello all, I happened across this bird yesterday. Size and shape (and behavior?) fit European Starling, I think, but the coloring was different from what I would have expected. Unfortunately, I only have poor photographs to offer. The small dark patch on the wing appeared deep blue, like a...
