    Little Shearwater?, Point Linas, Anglesey

    Doesn't look quite right to me (based on a sample size of 1). Tail and wings seem a bit long and the paler section of the wing is further out. Seems a bit brown as well. Wish the bill was visible though.

    Boston In Late June

    Nothing specific from me, but keep an eye on massbird, central mass bird update and probably here and here (and the links off those). If I have a chance, I'll dig out the ABA guide and see if there's anything to add. There's a western MA book as well (don't remember the publisher offhand and it...

    Boston In Late June

    Here's the 2008 June pelagic report, 2009 didn't run due to lack of people and from what I hear this year needs a bunch of signups soon or it won't go either. I suspect the potential is much better than the results show (apparently a research trip had a Bermuda Petrel last year a bit further...

    Warning/Tip for EL/SV users

    Just lost one of those plastic things, two days in. Picked them up by the strap and let them dangle and it must have popped off as they bounced and I have no idea where it went. Off to find a needle as I don't trust the metal thing to stay in place either. How would I go about getting one?

    Need ID help. Peoria AZ 16 Nov 2009 shorebird

    Or just measure the bill accurately. Pyle gives 48-68mm for Clapper and 32-46 for Virginia. If the 2.5" is precise, it's Clapper. No real clue but I'd wonder if an injured bird would be near normal weight.

    Opinions on "Id. Guide to North American Birds", Pt.I, by Peter Pyle et al.

    Not very useful for species identification. Super useful for age/sex/subspecies identification. And read IDFrontiers more, part 2 was just mentioned as available September or so.

    Grey Catbird? North central Vt. USA

    When you have one screeching outside your bedroom window for 15 hours a day, they do get annoying.

    Cormorant and Shearwater. Gloucester, MA, USA

    I don't see anything that says Manx over Greater. Size, head/neck pattern, bill all look fine (not that they can be judged totally correctly).
