    Juv/Female American Redstart? From Spearfish Canyon SD

    Hi everyone, Saw this ruffled little bird at Spearfish Canyon in South Dakota last summer (16th July). My best guess at the moment is that it's a juvenile (/female) American Redstart, but I wanted some confirmation before writing that down. I feel like it could also maybe be a flycatcher of...

    Kirtland's Warbler

    This Kirtland's Warbler made a two day appearance at Fort DeSoto and caused quite the uproar amongst local birders, attracting a ton of birders to see him. It was quite the experience to track this little fellow down in the sea grapes with other birders.

    European starling

    What do you do with the pummeled and broken tree limbs from the recent coastal winter storms? Yes, you chop them up, but don't throw them out: use them as bird perches for photo-ops instead. Here's a European starling trying to figure out how on Earth peanuts got wedged in there.

    Blue jay in my yard

    I finally admitted defeat trying to stalk this guy and went to plan B: left the video running. He is so neurotic he even takes off when he hears traffic blocks away. He would only pass by occasionally, but I just started offering peanuts and now I'm refilling feeders three times faster than I...

    Small fluffy passerine bird from the Netherlands

    Hey guys, I saw this small passerine bird yesterday on the edge of some woods in The Hague, Netherlands. I've seen it quite a few times before, but this is the first time I actually managed to get it on camera as it tends to never stand still. I am very unsure of what species it is. The closest...

    possibly zitting cisticola? (Thessaloniki, Greece)

    I took a picture of this bird at a marsh yesterday. I am not sure about zitting cisticola, I think it looks too dark (may be the bad lighting, it was a cloudy day) and too chunky. But then again I dont know any passerines with a clear, unspotted chest, that would match the wing pattern and...

    passerine ID (Thessaloniki, Greece)

    I saw this one at a wetland with lots of reeds yesterday. It looks like an emberiza species to me but I am not quite sure, because I've never seen it before. Maybe a female reed bunting? because I saw a male near there a few weeks ago.
