    Looking for IDs, Carara, Costa Rica

    Hello, First post in years. I recently did quite a bit of birding in Costa Rica, and have a number of birds for which I am hesitant to settle on an ID, as almost all the birds on this trip were new to me. These photos were taken in Carara National Park on June 19. First photo I think is a...

    Upper Vally, Vermont

    Here is a continuation of my IDing from years past. These are all from the Upper Valley area of Vermont in early July of 2015. Thanks for the help! #1/2 Maybe a Winter Wren, as its tail is so stubby. (These are photos of different individuals.) #5 Maybe a yellowthroat?

    Texas Hill Country IDs needed

    Hi everyone, I have finally embarked on a massive project to ID all my photos from the past few years that I still feel unsure about. This is the first batch. All of these photos are in/near Texas hill country in August 2015 (I'm still looking for my itinerary for that trip, but haven't found...

    Monomoy, Cape Cod -- shorebirds

    Here's the last (I think) unidentified batch from my trip to Cape Cod. I saw these as I strolled along the beach in Monomoy. The quality of photo is pretty terrible on some of them, as I had to do some significant cropping so that the birds are at all visible--not to mention that the wind out...

    Stellwagen Bank, near Cape Cod -- Part II

    Hello. Here are some more pictures from Stellwagen I would like help with. Thank you! #3 Pretty sure this is a Cory's Shearwater, but that was not one of the species listed for this area.

    Stellwagen Bank, near Cape Cod -- looking for IDs

    Hello! This is the second batch of birds I'd like help IDing. Some of these pictures have several different species. I find that gulls are particularly tricky to tell apart, as juveniles can look like adults of other species. I know that there are a bunch of Greater Shearwaters in these...

    Cape Cod birds to ID

    Hello, everyone! I took a mini-trip to Cape Cod this week and am having some difficulty identifying a good chunk of the birds I saw. (I don't come across a lot of water birds in everyday life.) I'll be posting a bunch of shorebirds from Wellfleet Bay on Monomoy and pelagic and other seabirds...

    Doi Inthanon, Thailand

    These photos were all taken at the beginning of January in Doi Inthanon NP on Kaew Mae Pan Trail. I was definitely feeling the effects of the altitude up there! I didn't realize it was quite so high at the time. This is almost the rest of the lot of unidentified pictures from my last trip...

    Another Set from Northern Thailand

    Thank you again to everyone who has been helpful in IDing the mystery birds from my last trip. Here is another set from around Chang Saen Lake near the Golden Triangle. The first looks like a Bulbul to me. I believe the second and third are Chestnut-Tailed Starlings. I think the fourth is a...

    More Northern Thailand birds

    These photos were all taken by Chiang Saen Lake, up near the Golden Triangle. It's a truly wonderful spot! Had I known what great birding there was in the area, I definitely would have stayed another day. I think maybe 3 and 5 are Burmese Shrike, and 4 is possible a Striated Swallow? Thanks...

    Northern Thailand

    Hello all, Here are some birds from northern Thailand that I would love help IDing. All pictures were taken near the Golden Triangle area. I think #4 is a Black-Backed Swamphen, as it looks dark to me. Thanks!

    Thailand birds

    Here is the latest batch of birds I haven't been able to definitively identify. #1 was taken about two weeks ago on a college campus about 30 minutes east of Bangkok, where I have never seen something like it. This guy didn't seem interested in going anywhere. I would have gotten more...

    Koh Si Chang, Thailand bird IDs needed

    Hello all, I have a number of birds I can't positively ID and would like some help. The following were all taken over the King's birthday weekend from Dec. 5-7 on Koh Si Chang in the Gulf. The first might be a Striated Grassbird? It was a little larger than I expected, but certainly not a...

    more birds in Thailand

    I've been cleaning up my vast, GB-munching photo collection, and have come across a few stragglers that I haven't been able to ID conclusively. I would appreciate any help. (I know some of the photos aren't the best.) The first two are pixely photos of the same bird near Krabi in March. 3...

    Thailand Munia

    I saw this pair of munias outside my apartment today (8 July) west of Bangkok. I think they might be White-Bellied, but they seem more of a combination of 3 of munia descriptions/pictures in Robson. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Thailand bird

    Hi all, I would love to know what this bird is. It appeared a few weeks ago (about 30 km west of Bangkok), and zooms around in a circle above my apartment a couple of times per day while making what is probably the most annoying sound I have ever heard come out of an animal. Hard to describe...

    Sandpiper? and others in Thailand

    Hello everyone, I have a new group of unidentified birds to ask your help on. All of the photos were taken in March of this year. The first is, I believe, some type of Sandpiper that I found in a lagoon in Phang Nga Bay. The second was taken on an island in Phang Nga Bay. The third I think...
