COMMON GRACKLE making a sandwich ;)

[paulnj]

YES the parents FEET told me it's ID..... COOT ;)

I was stumped for a minute too

EASTERN KINGBIRD in flight on a very dark dreery day 2 years ago

heavy crop, light PS work

[Lava Lamp]

What do you think it is??

Because I am thinking this is a first year PAINTED BUNTING, but the white on the tail is wrong.

Then I was thinking it's a female scarlet tanager, but the beak looks wrong slightly and the white under tail is wrong.

The only bird I can think of with that basic coloring, beak and build is A. Goldfinch, but something about it just seems really wrong to me besides the eye ring.

VERY decieving image here.

I thought it was a female painted bunting. Could that be a hotspot on the tail?

A young female northern harrier from january 04

Same clapper rail from today...

"Could that be a hotspot on the tail"

YES it very well may be. I am 99.50% sure it's a painted bunting!

I have seen 2 MALES in my life.... 1 full adult breeding, 1 young male.

That is a GREAT FIND!!!!!!

[paulnj]

CLAPPER is my ID too.

But I assure you I have found KING, CLAPPER, VIRGINIA'S and SORA in the same day in a tidal SALT MARSH far from fresh water

[Lava Lamp]

Here's one that I don't know what it is. Do you?

[Mike T]

Well Paul here's another to help you reach your goal, shot this tonight 8/2. Went back to where I shot the Magnolia Warbler, they mowed down the field so the birds probably moved on , this guy was in a tree at the edge of the field.

YOUR THE MAN!!!

FEMALE bluewinged warbler!! It's also a migrant , as 99% of the NJ breeders have ALREADY fledged and gone the 2nd week of july.

I LOVE warblers and the bluewinged/ goldenwinged are high on my list!

[paulnj]

Here's one that I don't know what it is. Do you?

Yes, by golly, I guess I am. (Don't tell the cool people, okay?)

You know what this is, but here's another...

[almo]

Birds in flight are my bane. I see that many of you guys have it down pretty good indeed.

Here is one I got at the golf course today. So Paul, what do you make of it???

[Mike T]

Hi Paul, I posted the picture you IDed as a Magnolia elsewhere and also got the ID of Magnolia. But the guy that IDed it asked for more pictures and now he isn't sure so I'm posting one of those extras for you to see.

Mike, as anyone will tell you..

Fall warblers are tough, but I now say this is this years young PRAIRIE WARBLER

PM me a link to the other posting of these images please... I want to see what others think

[paulnj]

this APPEARS to be a tricolored heron under mid day sun(hot spots)

That leg color is only present on young snowy egrets, little blue heron and tricolored heron

[paulnj]

AH HA... grey jay ;)

Where are my pheonix images from the botanical gardens ;)

Here is an easy image to get WHITE WINGED DOVE at 12 feet from the DBG in pheonix. It's a very bad convert from a few years ago though ;)

It is a juvi lil' blue. And I must take exception to you calling those spots hot. It was like 7am when I took that shot. No sun in the sky.

[paulnj]

well.... a juvenile little blue entering adult plumage does explain the BLOWN whites on the wings ;)

HAHAHA..... welcome to my nightmare ;)

Most didn't have a clue what the bird was, the man who IDed it as a Magnolia but wanted to see more shots said Prairie after seeing the shot from the back. I had also posted a side view, I'm not sure all pictures are of the same bird but they were all the same type of bird. The other forum is a birding and wild birds, mostly backyard birders but I have gotten many ID there.

[paulnj]

WELL..

I can ID birds ;) LINK ME

Your first looked like a young prairie, but magnolia seemed a better match.

like I said , warblers in fall (this is considered early fall for some species) are TOUGH. ID's come down to a tiny marking on some birds!

[Mike T]

I know these warblers are tough, different looks in spring and fall then you throw in the juvies. Here's an easy one so how about IDing its lunch.
