the not sure.. I am not sure ;)
That isn't a bush shrike and once again... don't know.
That is a steppe eagle(buzzard)
Africa has way too many bird species from everywhere and I honestly can't ID most of them.
Re: Spring 2008 Bird ID Thread.
The only way I had any clue on what these birds were was to ask they guide! Then we would mark them off in the book we had! It made it pretty easy to figure out what they were once we got home and had the prints made.

I haven't been by in a while so here are a few from the past couple of weeks. I know these won't be a challenge for you Paul but they are birds I don't see to often. The second one I've run into a few times, I think there is a nest in the area.

Re: Spring 2008 Bird ID Thread.
white eyed vireo and yellow breasted chat are AWESOME finds!!! I have never seen a chat in NJ that wasn't migrating and have seen very few nesting white eyed vireos.
Is that a young bluewinged warbler?
Love that last image of a domesticated caniform too.:D

The Chat was very vocal at times, it sure made some strange sounds. I saw the Chat at the same spot a few weeks ago and then last week I saw it many times. It kept going back into this one thick bush, a few times I noticed it was bringing food, I think there is a nest but the bush is real thick and I'd have to get real close to get a good look so I just watched from a distance. The Vireo I saw for a brief moment and that was all. I've been seeing a lot of Blue-winged this year.

Richmond, BC, Canada. It's probably just another sparrow I think.
Re: Spring 2008 Bird ID Thread.
I do believe that's a young savannah sparrow, but don't quote me.

Is this just another rock pigeon? I'm wondering why it's white primarily.

Re: Spring 2008 Bird ID Thread.
sure is. They are domesticated and are quite variable. That could be a pet that got loose too.

I looked up and saw this hawk-like bird fly by. It was an awesome sight. Too bad I didn't have time to take a shot at it. Then found it perching on a tree nearby:

No, no, I did not flip the photo. You see what I saw:

This could not be a Carolina Chickadee, could it? Not in the North West, right?

And this is?

Re: Spring 2008 Bird ID Thread.
broudwinged hawk I think (but could be a young redtailed hawk )
brown creeper
black capped chickadee(carolina looks the same and the integrade is actually in my back yard ;) the difference is speed of the call.
The last looks like a short billed dowitcher which is rare inland in the north west.
