    Peruvian mystery bird #2

    Looks like a female Euphonia. I'm not familiar with Peruvian (my experience is mainly from Colombia and central america) birding but you should be able to narrow it down by locality and elevation.

    Ten weeks in Ecuador, 2010

    Hi Ovenbird43, Your report left me positively drooling! I spent 5 weeks birding in Ecuador,including an al-too-short trip to Sani Lodge, this past winter. I will be back in Ecuador sometim ein the coming years and was wondering if you know how one would go about, as a tourist that is, organizing...

    please review Napo/Amazonian Lodges

    Hi all, I visited the Sani Lodge in Mid March and I have to say, if you dont care for high prices, this is an excellent option. The guiding is very good, I would not say superb, but very good. We spent three full birding days and I would strongly suggest spending another day or two. We had some...

    Post here where and when you will be birding in Ecuador

    Hi Guys, I went to Canande in mid march with a couple friends. The activity wasnt very high but we did see some great birds including the Golden-chested Tanager (on the like-wise named trail), Lita Woodpecker, Black-headed Antthrush, Great Jacamar and we heard Tawny-faced Quail. No sign of the...

    La Paz Waterfall Gardens

    As Patrick so correctly mentioned, Tapanti is a good alternative to La Paz Waterfalls. While you won't get the hummer feeders, the overall birding is simply astounding. I have spent about 5 months in Costa Rica over the last three winters, and I consider it my favourite (along with Dos Brazos...

    id Hummmer pls, Arizona, April 2009

    Looks good for Anna's to me too, note the red on the forehead. The colour can really vary depending on light. I recently saw an Anna's that at one angle the gorget looked a similiar colour to your bird and at another was the typical brilliant pink. Cheers,

    Eurasian (Common) Green-winged Teal? Northern Seward Peninsula

    The most recent Clements update (Nov. 26) treats them as conspecefic. Not that Clements is particularly consistent. Cheers

    Gamboa

    Hi Adrian, I highly recommend getting the Birdfinding guide to Panama before you go, if you haven't already. Also, may I recommend going to Cerro Punta on the other side of Volcan Baru from Boquete. You can stay at the excellent Los Quetzales Lodge. Their prices vary widely but include...

    Facial pattern on the ducks is remeniscent of Pacific Black Duck, perhaps someone hybridized them with Mallard. Avery

    Sparrows & a Finch - Nova Scotia

    Looks like Purple to me, note the heavy bill and dark ear patch. as Scott mentioned, the undertail covs look unstreaked, though its hard to be sure from the pics. looks short tailed and big headed as well, consistent with purple. Good birding. Avery

    Confirmation for 3 birds - Amazonas region, Brazil

    Hi Helen, I am not familiar with the birds of Brazil but i have seen Savanna Hawks in Panama and this looks rather like one(though I wouldn't know about any similiar spp in Brazil). Based on the ilustration in my Birds of Colombia, I'd have to agree with Orange-fronted Yellow Finch for bird...

    December hawk in Rochester, MN

    I agree with Coopers. THe Legs look too thick for Sharpie and the bird seems rather large compared to its prey. Avery

    Hawk ID needed. Texas Gulf Coast

    Imm. White-tailed Hawk, I believe. Beautiful bird & photo. A species I, for some reason, always forget about. I agree with Marie. Cheers and great pic. Avery
