I'll go check when I get back from Spain (work) and Belgium (pleasure) before we go over to Germany for the DTM season final race at Hockenheim.

Sounds good!

I am fairly sure of the ID, but european thrush type birds I have never seen, so I only have web images or books to go by ;)

L.L. has me feeling like I suck.

Nice shots L.L.!!!

Thanks, Almo. Looking forwrd to seeing more of your stuff when you figure out the Mac.

I don't think we've had this bird on our hit parade yet, have we?

NOT YET....That would be the COMMON grackle I do believe;) The first image has a tail nearly at the boat tailed grackle size.... but fall short :)

GREAT exposure BTW!

I need to rumage through my externals and find a new species for this list......... when the posting stops again ;)

This was out over the sea.

Think I know what this is, but haven't double-checked yet...

Thanks L.L., I'm getting there, but I havn't really done much birding as of late. I have been focusing on my nature close up/macro work. Like this:

I will go with CASPIAN TERN judging by the bill and wing panels.

Ah, that's not what I thought. Thanks. Good night. More from today coming tomorrow.

CLOSE ALMO.... but this is bird FOOD ;)

Nice work though!!!!!!

Dude..... Neo tropicals and raptors are swarming your area in the last month..... get out there before they go south of the bourder on you :)

Ok here is a bird picture. It isn't great and it isn't a challenge. I just wanted to participate in the biggest and most successful post that I can remember on PR. Great thread Paul. Take a bow. I lot of great pictures and fantastic participation.

I was taking pictures at a soccer game last week and this guy flew over. I was set for action on the field and didn't change anything so not the best exposure. But like I said I just wanted to contribute to your great thread.

I think this may be the first North American version of this bird posted to the thread. One of my favorites, but not one I've ever gotten a decent picture of until yesterday...

Actually, you posted the first BROWN pelicans (nive images of them might I add). I do believe I posted AMERICAN WHITE pelicans a while back(but I am not totally sure)

Here's one I got today not sure if this one has made the thread yet.
Mike

I posted a willet before. Can you identify it's meal in this pic.?

Larry, welcome abourd! You are now one of the people who made this thread what it is!!!!!

Sure I started it( after LIZ suggested it ), but it took EVERYONE'S images to make a thread ;)

I am honestly amazed at the amount of images posted

SHHHHH, but I am also amazed at how well I am doing at ID's too ;)

Your goose BTW appears to be a CACKLING GOOSE, which was split off from the generic canada goose ;) It has a shortish neck, small head and bill ;) I am not a goose expert(nor do I want to be) , so I could be wrong? There are 13 subspecies of "canada goose" I do believe. One is Richardson's and 2 more smaller races with that make up " Cackling Goose"..... I think :)

This is a house finch. plenty have been posted early on, but your is no less important Mike!

Nice habitat shot there!

Well it looks like a sand crab to me ;)

So, what did you think it was..... I could be wrong ;)

Here's one uncropped and unedited from last week. I bet you get it, though...
