UNKNOWN BIRDS (1 Viewer)

[dave598]

I am working on cleaning up some stuff that has been sitting on my hard drives that I have marked as Unknown. I am going to post them here I would appreciate any help. If I have an idea on the bird I will say what I think it is.

This is the first one up. I saw it in Las Vegas, NV in December of 2016. I believe it is either a Female Great Tailed Grackle or a Female Common Grackle.

I think is a female Common Grackle Dave.

Great-tailed grackle - huge bill.

I was too busy looking at its tail to not notice the beak size.

 

[dave598]

I think is a female Common Grackle Dave.

Thank you KC

Thank you I had the feeling it was a female great tailed.

Here is another one that I took in December of 2016 and I believe it too is a Grackle but I am not sure.

Great-tailed grackle

American coot. Check those crazy toes.

The coloring threw me off. Normally the ones that I have seen have all been black. Thank you

Great-tailed grackle

Thank you it must be a female.

It's best if you put one, or a batch, of your photos at the head of a discussion thread, and then start a new thread when you have further photos to identify. Gets confusing for you and for us otherwise.

This is a juvenile. Your field guide will show you the age-differences.

 

[Butty]

it must be a female

Or juvenile.

Thank you I will go through the rest of the Unknowns and do that. Sorry was not trying to confuse anybody.

No worries. Anything up to about 5-6 in one batch works ok.
