[terryger]

asked me what it is and i was stumped but told her i would find out.

looks to be a plover but can't find which. what do you think paul?

she's starting out right!:thumbsup:

Sapsucker in transition from Juvi to Adult . I know theres a word for that but i dont know what it is lol.

[Knight]

Chipping Sparrow i think hehe.

PS: I think we are all going to try and give each other a hand at ID`s in Paul`s absence.

[Loupey]

You ain't kidding there, Knight

My id's would go like, "...big one", "...brown one", "...big brown one", ......:idea:

[Mike T]

A few shots from last thursday. I think these are young sparrows. The sparrows always give me trouble, but then again so do the Warblers, Vireos etc. etc.........

[Loupey]

You and me both then

Unless they are near feeders, I can't seem to get close enough.

I got out today for the first time in months and saw these. A first time for me. I think I got an ID, but could use a second opinion. (Found in FL.)

[Mike T]

Looks like Mrs. and Mr. American Redstart to me.

[Knight]

Very good Captures LL


Heres a American Kestrel from 2 weeks ago had forgoten about this one .
400mm Sigma and a 2X Tamron converter from the hood of my car

Here's one from today. I almost wasn't going to go out today since the weather wasn't so good this morning, when the sun popped out a little after noon I grabbed the camera and took a walk. Saw a lot of birds today I'm glad I went out. This one is giving me a problem. The first two are the same bird, the third I think is another of the same type ( maybe the same bird taken a while apart ).

I will go with song sparrow on the first 2(has to be) and chipping on the last

[Lava Lamp]

I shot these today with a Sigma 300mm f/2.8 I picked up for $650 plus a Tamron 1.4x TC. This is a first time capture for me and I think I know what it is, but welcome your advice. Shot is Central FL...

[Lava Lamp]

Is this a juvenile of the above, do you think?

[paulnj]

F/M redstart indeed.

[paulnj]

yellow warbler..... Nice price on that lens too!

[paulnj]

red-eyed vireo

[paulnj]

So sorry for the delay!!!!!!

These must be SOLITARY SANDPIPERS in migration, becauase they are rare in California.

[payn817]

Well, perhaps I'm not looking hard enough. I'm certain this is very common, but what is it?

[Knight]

Maybe a Brown Trasher , if you have a wing shot it would help Just my guess lol

[payn817]

That's it, thanks Knight!

Shame on me for not knowing my state bird. :blush2:

[paulnj]

I haven't been out shooting birds much in the last couple months, but I made it out today. Here is a female belted kingfisher, a great egret, and a canada goose.

[Knight]

:thumbsup: 2 Very good Captures Michael O'Canon:thumbsup:

[Mike T]

Here's a bird from today. When I was shooting this one I thought I had a new bird but it looks like I just have another young bird fooling me.
