    Not a great picture but is this an american goshawk or coopers hawk? Washington state may 24.

    H What are differences to look out for when determining northern goshawk immatures? I think adult is fairly identifiable.

    Not a great picture but is this an american goshawk or coopers hawk? Washington state may 24.

    I ruled out sharp shinned from size, it was flying with a golden eagle. I couldn’t accurately determine it but sharpies are fairly small and I judged it to be at least a crow size.

    Not a great picture but is this an american goshawk or coopers hawk? Washington state may 24.

    Was soaring with a golden eagle, but was a little higher so I couldn't really judge the size. Habitat was favorable as i was in the lower elevation of the cascades

    Washington state may 24, gadwall or female cinnamon teal?

    That’s what I was thinking. Not a great pic but I think it’s enough for an ID. Thanks

    Antillean or Common nighthawk. May, grassy key, florida keys

    I’ve concluded to a 90% certainty it’s Antillean. One because of contrasting tertials, and the white mark on the wing does not reach the edge. In that area there has only been one common nighthawk sighted and it was a male. Secondly there are at least 2 Antilleans present 1 male and 1 female...

    Antillean or Common nighthawk. May, grassy key, florida keys

    Had a discussion about a common nighthawk a while back. Only reason Im leaning towards antillean is because they nest in this same spot every year.

    Indigo bunting? South FL, april.

    I feel it is an indigo bunting because of range, but the line on the cheek and the chest streaks are putting me off.

    Thrushes, all different. April 2024 Florida. Sorry for back of camera photos but please ID if possible

    As long as 1 of them is gcth it’s all good. I have a personal rule of not adding a bird to my life list unless I get a photo and I had a very good birder say that his opinion on 6 is Swainson’s

    Thrushes, all different. April 2024 Florida. Sorry for back of camera photos but please ID if possible

    5th shows no spectacle (poor pic tho), but you agree with 6 as gray cheeked? because Im getting so many conflicted views now, from experienced birders from florida. This is giving me headache.

    Female blackpoll warbler?

    Florida yesterday. The orange legs made me ID it, also when you download an image on the iphone, the gallery ID's birds now and it says blackpoll

    Thrushes, all different. April 2024 Florida. Sorry for back of camera photos but please ID if possible

    #1, #2 and #4 are swainson's, #4 is not a veery i found another angle and the streaks/dots are lower on the chest, #3 could possibly be gray cheeked but dont need ID as I found a clear photo of gray cheeked in my camera roll . Bicknells is not on the gulf coast. Topic can be closed

    Thrushes, all different. April 2024 Florida. Sorry for back of camera photos but please ID if possible

    I agree with first 2 now, 3 I thought was gray cheeked since it was grayish rather than reddish brown and no eye ring. But I thought lack of spotting made 4 a veery. For 4, other people at the place ID it to be a gray cheeked, but I felt it was either a Swainsons or veery and leaned towards...

    Stilt Sandpiper or Dunlin? tampa march 24

    This picture shows significant size difference between dunlin and dowitchers that i got:

    Stilt Sandpiper or Dunlin? tampa march 24

    Seems like a discussion, so Im going to add the photo of the dunlins i saw. But the reason I felt it was a stilt sand was because I got multiple shots of dunlins among sanderlings, westerns sands and least sands, and they looked small like this one below. Sorry I have no more good pics, those...

    Stilt Sandpiper or Dunlin? tampa march 24

    That’s the image that made me think stilt sand, but I’ll let you pros decide, because shorebirds are not my strong suit. I will upload some photos of the other Dunlins i found. The main reason why I didn’t think dunlin was size, because it seemed like the dunlins I was sure about were closer in...
