    Merganser ID? Wisconsin

    I saw this duck swim by with its young and can only guess it is a Merganser of some kind. I think it is a female making it hard for me to figure out which one.... but I guess that's where you all come in. Thanks!!

    Rail Help, Wisconsin

    Hello, Is this a Virginia Rail? I'm assuming so because it is more common in my area than a King rail. To me though, it looks more like the King Rail in my field guide. I have some decent photos so it should be too hard for the experts!! Thank you.

    Possible American Wigeon - Wisconsin

    I also have a question about this duck. It had a white "mohawk" on the top of its head and white patches on its wings. It looked like an American Wigeon in my book but it didn't have any green on its head. I looked at many pics on the web but all the ones I saw had the green around its...

    Question about a Tern - Wisconsin

    Hello, Today I saw a tern and would like to know what you all think. In my bird book they all look so similar, so any opinions would be appreciated. My guess would be Forster's because of the white body. The Caspian also has a white body but the Tern today didn't look that big to me. Thank...

    Last one: Kinglet? (Wisconsin)

    I think I got this one but as its a new species for me, I would like a 2nd opinion. I think it a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. It was a small bird, flying around all crazy, and it had a crest on its head (although I didn't see any red on it). Thanks again.

    Hello, I have some swans here for your consideration (sounds like a passage from ebay ;) ) I saw the first two in a nature area and the 2nd swan atop a lookout tower (hence the far distance). My guess would be Trumpeter by bill shape but what do I know? As always, any input would be...

    Zoom vs. Prime? Lens

    Hello, A quick question I was wondering about... What's the difference between a zoom lens and I believe they're called a Prime lens. Canon has a 100mm-400mm Zoom lens and Prime 400mm lens. The zoom lens seems to be a little more expensive and has Image Stabilizer. From reading other...
