    Seedsnipe, today, Puerto Natales, Chile.

    I'm leaning towards Least based on small size (no comparison though) and dull yellow legs. I'm not sure about the pattern on the throat. Thanks!

    Prion, today, North of the Falkland Islands

    This prion caught my attention at sea because it didn't seem to have strong face pattern. The amount of black on tail looks decent. I'm thinking Fairy prion but I don't have experience with this species. Apology for photo quality. Photos were taken today on the way to Falklands.

    Two different cinclodes, Ushuaia, Argentina, this week.

    Both seem to have white wing bends. Not confident to tell bill sizes and flank colors. Leaning towards Grey-flanked. Thanks!

    Passerine, Santiago, Chile, Oct-20-2022

    Blue-and-yellow tanager has been suggested by someone with deep knowledge of Chilean birds 😲 admitted it is rare in the area.

    Passerine, Santiago, Chile, Oct-20-2022

    The malar is consistent in other photos (also poor quality though), as well.

    Passerine, Santiago, Chile, Oct-20-2022

    Thanks! Grassland Yellow-Finch seems more common in that area: west of Santiago, close to the airport.

    Passerine, Santiago, Chile, Oct-20-2022

    The best I could think of is female Gray-hooded Sierra Finch with the pale malar stripes, however, it seems to have too much yellow. Thanks!

    Martin/swallow, Buenos Aires (city), Argentina, Dec-21-2022

    Photos 1 and 2 are the same bird; 3, 4, 5 are another one. I'm wondering if the first one is Southern Rough-winged Swallow or one of the martins, Gray-breasted/Brown-chested. The second bird looks like a martin to me but hard to tell which one from this angle. Thanks! :)

    Passerine, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dec-21-2022

    Thank you! Saw the males, didn't think about the female. I was looking at finches/tanagers.

    Gilded Hummingbird or Glittering-bellied Emerald? Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dec-21-2022

    100% sure the two tails belong to the same bird. The bill "should" :p

    Gilded Hummingbird or Glittering-bellied Emerald? Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dec-21-2022

    I am thinking Gilded Hummingbird based on the tail color. Thanks! :)

    Panjin Birding by the Old Fat Man

    Haha! Thank you for "nomination", Owen🤣 it's hilarious that I'm on my way to gull watching! Good news earlier this year for listers was the change of taxonomy of Common gull complex. The American Mew Gull became a full species. Contrary to when Thayer's gull was lumped in Iceland and everyone...

    72 Chinese Crested Terns were counted at Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao

    You are welcome! :) I haven't been back home since last time we met. I'm "patiently" waiting ;)

    72 Chinese Crested Terns were counted at Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao

    The number is encouraging and there might be more. I was told birds moved around in Jiaozhou Bay area but accessibility doesn't seem an issue. Getting in touch with local birders would be helpful. Just wait when pandemic is over 🤞

    Heermann's gull, San Diego, CA, USA, September-26-2021.

    After 21 months, I finally travelled again :)

I'm curious if anyone know this location. GPS coordinates would be great. I know travel is not feasible at this moment but one...
