welcome to hawks in flight(what I watch and shoot september-november)

Adult redtailed hawk.

I shoot them at +1ev as a rule , but as we all know... lighting changes constantly outside

herring gull, what looks to be a emu .....

Where did you find an egyptian goose though ?

BTW... The best place in Maine to find moose is on the highway when you leaving I was in Maine for 5 days a while back and the only one I have ever seen was at 85 MPH while leaving Maine ;)

[Lava Lamp]

More shorebirds.

[paulnj]

More shorebirds.

Shorebirds are a weak subject of mine, but I am nearly positive these are both sanderlings

I found that goose in your neck of the woods.......
At Six Flags Safari in Jersey.
And the only moose I did see was on the warning signs.....
But I tried!!!!

I just have to say that when I saw this image I busted out laughing...Very very funny dude

[almo]

I am amazed cuz she was hanging out with this guy the whole time I was watching. He even mounted her.

Is it that hard to believe that a male HOUSE FINCH would stay within it's race

Dude that finch is a breeding plumage MALE house finch(no RED in those WHITE wingbars) Believe me.... you will KNOW when you see a purple finch, they look deeper in color and have tons of it . I will give you that some house finches are deeper in color making them APPEAR to the untrained eye to be a purple finch ;)

HABITAT and location is a key factor too

I just don't have your skill Paul.

I hope to someday, but I still get confused by stupid things like that. I have the same problem with dragonflies. Some guy on a Canon forum just told me to rename 3 of my dragons.

[paulnj]

Dude...... I made that mistake plenty UNTIL I found my first PURPLE finch ;)


I spent 20 months BIRDING every day ..... EVERY DAY!!!!! I learned from a bunch of AMAZING birders, yet still make mistakes I shouldn't.

I strive to be HALF as good as my cousin is at birds(not just ID, but everything about them!!)

dragonflies and butterfly/moths are rediculously hard once you get past the common ones, so don't feel bad ;)

[tink]

I have one. It's not that clear a picture I'm sorry. Darn thing wouldnt stay still for me ;)

Do you know what this is? I know, but not to detail. I know what family it's from!

[paulnj]

maybe it's a forest kingfisher? This bird is in my opinion one of the kingfisher family birds(a kookaburra is one too)

Geez you're too good!! What bird dont you know?

I have more birds, will get to them when I can!

[tink]

Here ya go Paul, a couple more! This bird should be fairly easy for you. They are a very common bird here!

[Lava Lamp]

Have We Had One of These Yet?

[paulnj]

Have We Had One of These Yet?

Sure I have

We also have FEMALE american blackducks here coastally, though coastal birding isn't what I enjoy as much as hunting down neotropicals .

I prefer to spend my springs/ early summers chasing the tropical birds that come here to breed(namely warblers, tanagers...)

[paulnj]

You nearly got me!!! I am not familiar with EVERY bird in the world(I seriously doubt more than a handfull of people are) and at first I thought it may be an odd looking rail from that beak and stubby tail.

BUT.......

The shape, color, beak and habitat PLUS the fact you say it's common lead me to believe it's a MAGPIE on second thought

[tink]

Wow, you really are a bird nerd arent you!! I'll have to do some deep thinking to see what else I can drag out for you!

Well done!

[almo]

It's a crap image, but i'd love to see you get it Paul.

[Mike T]

Here's an easy one but I don't think this bird has been on yet. Not the greatest photo but I liked the pose.
Mike

[paulnj]

tufted titmouse ;) yes, a new species indeed

[paulnj]

but i'd love to see you get it Paul.

You are joking right? You don't really believe that I can't ID a SIGNET do you? That bill and neck are a give away!

Being as Florida has no TRUE WILD breeding population I will say if it's a US species it's a mute swan.
