    Sparrows - coastal Washington State USA

    Both birds seen in bushes at a park next to the Sound (open saltwater). They seemed to be having a disagreement. 1 & 2) Same bird 3 - 6) Second bird. Thanks gang! I am getting close to the end of this adventure's batch of birds.

    "Blue" Snow Goose? - Washington State USA

    Over 2000 white geese and who catches my eye? "Blue," malanistic or something else enjoying that community feeling? (Why is it called blue, if they are brown?) Yes, this is the first time I have seen Snow Geese close up! Thanks!

    Seen eight days ago on the Cranberry Lake Trail. The trail winds through very large, old cedar trees with dense undergrowth. Only photos. Thanks for any help.

    Which Kinglet? Camano Washington State

    Seen last week at the Cama Beach State Park, up the slope in the heavy woods with undergrowth. Only photo. The bird was not at all interested in having its picture taken and was a bit everywhere. Many thanks!

    Water birds - Camano, Washington State USA

    Sorry for the photo quality. Birds were seen last week, way out in the channel (near where a whale surfaced moments later). Thanks for any help!

    Adult Gulls - Camano Washington State USA

    All seen last week during cold and dreary weather at a west side beach. The lighting was tricky, potentially altering the appearance / darkness of plumage. The bill extension on the first gull is actually a shell the bird is holding. Many thanks!

    Loons or Grebes or...? & Common Goldeneye muddle - Camano Washington State USA

    All seen last week in cold, rainy weather at a west side beach. Sometimes you can't wait for a perfect day. 1 - 4) Seen at extreme distance, well into the channel. Yes, bad photos, but the best I have of the pair. 5) The cheek patch seems Common Goldeneye, but what's with the muddled chest...

    Wrens - Camano, Washington State USA

    All seen this past week. 1 -4) Observed trail side in mixed boarder woods with blackberry. Extremely overcast. Bewick's, maybe? 5) Observed in old cedar woods, dense undergrowth. Only photo, sorry. Perhaps Winter Wren? If I am correct, these would both be new on my list!

    Ducks in King County, WA

    I have been seeing some flocks of ducks in different duck ponds near parks and at the beaches on Lake Sammamish and Lake Washington. The birds seem to resemble American Black Ducks but ebird seems to suggest they are rare for the area. Are these really American black ducks or some other species?

    Where can I see owls?

    Hello! I'm a relatively new birder from King County, Washington in the US. Last night my husband and I went out in search of owls in our woods, and it was a pretty magical experience. We saw two Barred Owls in the woods. From the calls it sounded like they were juveniles. Anyway, now I'm on a...

    White bird in King County, Washington, USA

    Hello there! I’m a new birder and am looking to get help with an ID. I saw two all-white birds flying in Carnation, Washington this afternoon on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail. The size was probably between pigeon and crow. I didn’t get a chance to see with my binoculars but from what my husband...

    Hard to ID moth in SW Washington

    Hello fellow moth enthusiasts! A friend posted a picture of this moth that they had rescued from under their car hood, and wanted help identifying it. I spent a few hours looking through the PNW moth and butterfly registry, but couldn't find anything that looked enough like the mystery moth for...

    Clay-colored Sparrow

    Watching over a fledgling... Once again, this species has successfully bred on Silver Hill. This is out of their regular range, and I'm thrilled to have them just a couple miles from my house.
