The last one looks like a yellow wagtail.

Can anyone identify this bird? The photo was taken at the Phoenix Zoo.

ksblack99:

Grey crowned crane, I'm assuming.

I agree. Thanks.

Can anyone identify this bird? I saw several of them eating in the ornamental millet at the Michigan State University Demonstration Gardens in East Lansing in July 2017. Merlin ID'ed it as a house sparrow but that doesn't seem right to me.

Sadly not very chatty anymore : I found out that this is a female red winged blackbird

Seen in a wetlands area in central New Hampshire April 22.

Funny, I was about to post almost the same image! :-)

flic.kr/p/25AMHDA , is this a male or female grackle? Do the males look similar to females? I’ve not seen many so I cannot distinguish the two.

CJH Natural:

Thank you!

That is a Chestnut Sided Warbler looking for bugs....They migrate up through Ohio/Michigan and eat as many bugs as they can so they can continue their journey north...Magee Marsh ?

Yes, Magee Marsh last sunday after the afternoon rain.

Is this an acadian flycatcher ???

Which bird is this? Shot in Lima, Peru. Thanks.

This bird was hanging about my front steps, then flew up on a window screen, and then onto the roof in Michigan on September 12. My first thought was that it was an Eastern Phoebe but the speckles on the breast are confusing me. Can anyone help with an ID?

ksblack99:

Tough call. Colors seem wrong for a Phoebe, and not sure about that wind stripe.... But given the downy look of the feathers, this appears to be a juvenile something - which will make IDing harder, as they often have attributes that will go away when they become adults.

I was told that there was an "eagle" hanging out in a corn field near where I work. Seemed funny, because there's no open water there.

So I got these photos today. I know it's not an eagle but what kind of hawk is it? I want to give my co-workers the correct information.


Seen In Concord, NH (central NH) Feb 5th, 2019.

This is a big bird. There are ospreys in the area and this one seems to almost that size, maybe just a little smaller.

Thx.

The other thing is, Concord is a mid size city and this bird's field is right next to a major route into town so a lot of people have been stopping to take photos on their morning and evening commutes.

But I was happy to spot the bird in a tree not too far away from the road and get some good shots. He didn't fly off which was great, and I thought that it must be accustomed to a lot of activity in the area because of the road.
The odd thing is that when I was packed up and back in my car, the hawk flew down to the side of the road, exactly where I had been standing.
Makes me wonder if people have been feeding it?

G.M Photography:

I am looking to find out what kind of bird this is. I took this at the Los Angeles Zoo, but forgot to snap a shot of the plate with the name.

andyourlittledogtoo:

Its a Sun Bittern (Eurypyga helias)

Thank you!

Hello everyone, I have seen this nest (I assume that is a nest :) ) in the north of Germany, do you know which species of bird have done it? Thank you

Glass_House:
I believe this is a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk (light morph). Thank you!

Can anyone help identify? Taken in Cape Town, South Africa. Bird arrived in small flock, during summer, stayed for a while; not seen again.

Size of small sparrow - the closest I could get to identifying from Sasol Birds is a White-throated canary (Serinus albogularis) but my bird is a lot lighter in color and doesn't have the yellow feathers on back.

Can anyone identify this bird. Photo was taken in Long Island, NY in April 2019. Thank you :)

Marie. D:
Bluejay
Not much colours in that image but...

mikerofoto:

Interesting. It was a cloudy day and the bird actually looked this color. Thank you so much for the ID :)

Yes, their belly is white.
What I meant was from bottom you don’t really see the blue colours of top feathers.

Roy Gaylard:
Your bird is indeed a White-throated Canary. It could possibly be a lighter-colored variation.

Thanks! :)
mikerofoto:

okay...this is not a white throated canary it's a blue jay that's lost it's colour

Sue, I think gracezhang44 is referring to Roy Gaylard bird image above the blue jay.

Hi, I'm unsure if this is a Little Blue Heron or a Reddish Egret (or something else). I think I tend towards the Litlle Blue Heron, but I thought the heron legs should be yellowish and this fellow has them blackish. Any help?

That's what I would have thought too... I think it's a Little Blue Heron.

Hi - Looking for Id help please on this bird seen in the Masai Mara last year

Tricolored Heron?

JesseG8r:

Yes.

Hi, could you help me to indentify this one? Thanks!

TerezaŠestáková:

This looks like a Lesser Goldfinch. The head markings and nest build appear similar.

Is this a robin? Spotted on a rocky outcrop near tidal marsh on the Gower Coast, Wales, UK on 8 October 2020.
Edit: Thanks to Gower Ornithological Society for confirming that this is actually a wheatear.

Is this a kind of Tern? Thank you :)

Many Thanks to for ID of this male marsh harrier ! Very much appreciated !

Hi all! Looking for help ID'ing this bird.

Hi,
Looks like a female Brown-headed Cowbird.
Here is a photo of my own:

Hello ! Can anybody help in identifying this falcon ? Looks different from a kestrel.

andreas_fery:

I believe that's a male Eurasian Kestrel.

Not sure what this bird is. I'm pretty sure it is a warbler. Can anyone help?
Thanks...[

Hi everybody
Someone of you can help me in the identification of this gull?
I taken the picture some time ago in may, during the transfer with ferry boat from Den Helder to Texel Island in Holland.
I thought to be a Lesser black-backed gull, but it seems to me the head i quite squared, but it's equally true that the legs are bright yellow.
Any help?
Thank you

near Hagerman, Idaho; I'm not an expert but this looks like a mottled duck. According to several websites I've viewed, Idaho is not in the range where mottled ducks are supposed to exist. Any input would be appreciated.

Larry Myhre American black duck??

luca.ghiraldi:

It looks like it could be, but they're not supposed to be in the western US either.

Oops. Sorry. Posted as a topic. Shoulda read all the stickies first, I guess.

Bluebird or Barn Swallow? (Lancaster, PA)



There were dozens of barn swallows diving and swooping, feeding over the lawn just beyond the fence this bird is perched on. When I snapped this, I assumed it was an immature barn swallow. Now, I think maybe it's a female bluebird? (Obviously, I don't really know either bird all that well.)

I am really very bad with identifying gulls. I would be grateful for an id of this one, though it is presumably a very common one

This visited our bird bath in late August, in southeast Michigan. Note the bluish "stripe" (crest?) down the head, and the iridescence in the wings.

Update: A grackle of some kind, probably adolescent and/or molting as the feathers are...non-standard for local grackles.

Fuengirola Spain

Saw this hawk at Safety Harbor in Tampa Bay, FL. Seen lots of Red Shouldered Hawks in my area, but none like this. Using Photo ID in the Merlin app led me to think it might be a Broad-Winged Hawk, but still not sure. Any ideas?

jim.lochhead:

Cooper Hawk, I think.

What species does this bird belong to?
Is maybe a passer domesticus ?
Thanks :)

Is this perhaps a juvenile Batelier? Seen in the Okavango Delta in June:

I think it's Salt Marsh Sparrow?

Does anyone know what type of duck this is? The male has a grey color.

Wood Duck Hen and Chicks. Wood Duck Drake is very colorful in breeding season, less so in eclipse, but still with a colorful beak. Juveniles resemble females.

I need some help identifying this bird. I took this photo yesterday, August 26, 2025 at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in central, Kanasas. Thanks!

Look through these flycatchers / kingbirds / phoebes / wood-pewees — probably one of those.

mausgabe:

Thanks! I believe it is an Eastern Kingbird.

I agree. The location is right and the white tail tip is indicative.
