Bird Id Part 2.5

Yes this is a TV ;)

No eye ring and brown feather.

The best way to tell them apart in flight is the wing pattern. Tv has white along the whole trailing edge of the wing, while Bv has just white wing tips.

I am thinking this is a female , but after looking at it a little more I wonder if it may not be a juvy.

Well, after a few failed attempts, I finally got this guy. It was reall comical watching him walk very gingerly across the ice.

I am still re-learning how to focus manually so these may have a little fuzziness to them.

Sorry about the number of posts, but thought it would make it easier than one post with a bazillion pics on it. ;) Plus, I don't think I could do that many on one post.

I know it's a woodpecker and have not had a chance to look it up in my new bird book yet.

Red-bellied Woodpecker

This looks a lot like a red-bellied woodpecker to me.

I'm no expert but it looks like a female Cardinal to me.

I'm no expert but it looks like a femail Cardinal to me.

Thanks, Mike. The way the plumage looked I thought it might have been a juvenile, but I suppose that could be the winter plumage.

[mjs1973]

I'm pretty new to this whole birding thing so I don't know anything about the changes in plumage yet. There are a couple more female cardinals on page 3 of this thread that will give you a little better look at them.

[srobb]

Here a couple more. Not sure about the first one. I did try to look up the second one and the closest I could come was a Summer Tanager.

[srobb]

One more here. Not sure of this one. Maybe a woodpecker of some kind.

[paulnj]

You found a yellow bellied sapsucker , which is indeed a woodpecker

[dadas115]

My guess is downey woodpecker. In the second picture you can really see the woodpecker tail.

First is a northern mockingbird and the second is a male house finch ;)

[dadas115]

My guesses are Northern mockingbird and House finch though the second one does appear to have a bit of a tanager beak in the picture it still says house finch to me.

looks female to me, but lacks the amount of red it should have in the wings.... maybe? it's a first winter female ;)
