    Confirmation of a few IDs, Miami, FL.

    Is it possible that the second bird is an Orange-crowned Warbler?

    Confirm ID? Yellow-Headed Blackbird - Austin, TX, US

    Yes, indeed, Yellow-headed Blackbirds. Lyn

    Finch, Tomball, Texas

    Interesting. I hadn't thought about a PFxHF hybrid. With that in mind, I don't think it's possible to identify this bird based on one image. Lyn

    Finch, Tomball, Texas

    I would agree with Purple Finch. The red extends down the back of the neck and I don't see any streaking along the sides of the belly.

    What Bird? West Central Indiana

    I have heard Tufted Titmice giving that call. Threw me the first time I heard it, too.

    Bird ID - Southern California, USA

    The bill looks too thick for Pipit and the streaking on the sides looks too dark, to me. Maybe, Song Sparrow?

    Las Vegas Bird ID - Nevada, USA

    Great-tailed Grackle.

    What kind of bird is this? Rhode Island, USA

    Duh! (smacks self in head) Of Course!

    What kind of bird is this? Rhode Island, USA

    Tufted Titmouse, maybe? They nest in cavities.

    Unknown Pink bird, Potomac, MD, USA

    Leucism is due to a genetic mutation so a leucistic individual would not be considered a subspecies. Since it only affects the pigment in the feathers the bird is not considered to be sick either. It might make the bird easier for a predator to see and make a meal of or it may never find a mate...

    Juvenile Verdin? Tucson, AZ, USA

    Well, Verdins are known to visit nectar feeders so that could be what it was. The other small grayish bird with a small bill in Arizona would be Bushtit.

    Unknown Pink bird, Potomac, MD, USA

    Cool photos! I would say this is a leucistic House Finch.

    US - South Dakota Grosbeak?

    I agree that it's a Dickcissel; possibly a female. Some females show brighter yellow than others or it may be a male with the black throat not showing due to the angle of the pic.

    LOUD song, I've never heard before. USA, WI sound file

    I've listened to the recordings several times now and to me it sounds more mechanical than biological. (That maybe a combination of my ears, the quality of the recording and my speakers.) But birds do not vocalize all day, non-stop, day after day. Does the sound stop during the day at any...

    Ohio U.S.A, ID please

    It looks like a Swamp Sparrow without a tail to me. Birds sometimes lose their tails when escaping from a predator, such as a cat. Staying low to the ground and in dense brush is typical Swamp Sparrow behavior.

    Unknown Bird - Southeastern Arizona, USA

    1st year male Red-wing Blackbird, maybe?
  17. OK Birder

    And finally from Florida...

    Might want to keep in mind that the birds do not read the date guides. lol

    Found bird in Central Indiana. Wild or Pet?

    It's a fledgling/ juvenile American Robin. The parents may still be feeding it, so it would be better off outside close to where you found it. Maybe, you could keep the cat/s inside for a few days until it learns to fly and can get away.

    Alberta, Canada, May 24

    With that fine bill I would say Orange-crowned Warbler. It is definately a warbler and not a vireo.

    Rock Dove?

    It is a Rock Dove, or more precisely, a Capuchine (a breed of fancy pigeon). Look at the head in the first photo, the bill and eyes are not owl-like at all.

    Rufous hummingbird? San Francisco

    It looks to me that his gorget is growing in asymetrically and the part sticking out is one of his gorget feathers. It also looks to be growing from the side of his neck (where his gorget would be) not the back of his head. In the second photo he is looking off to the side over his shoulder.

    WARNING-GRAPHIC! Dead Goose question.

    Well, yuck. Wish I hadn't looked. Since I did, I would say vehicle kills in all cases. I like caravan wood's scenario, especially if you add in speeding.

    ID 3 Birds I Shoot in Manhattan,ny

    The first is an immature Yellow-crowned Night Heron. The all dark bill sets it apart from the Black-crowned, which would have yellow on the lower mandible.

    Recording of a wren?

    I'm pretty sure that's a Carolina Wren. They have several songs.

    Connecticut bird ID, please.

    It's a male House Finch.
