    Night call near Paris

    Sorry for the late answer Alexander. I just kept 1 or 2 seconds before and after each recording. They were all recorded at night. I often have magpies or robins calling at 2 or 4 in the morning but I never had blackbirds. I agree human whistling can't be completely excluded but I recorded the...

    Night call near Paris

    Three nights in a row I heard this strange call in our small town east of Paris, France. I can't identify this species, it seems so different from usual French night birds. The best species I can imagine is Little Owl but it does not really fit. It could be an escaped cage bird, I already had...

    Black-headed weaver near Paris, France

    If I'm not wrong, you don't see my ebird record on their map (I don't). It means that records for that species outside Spain and Portugal are not shown and one cannot use ebird to have information on sightings in more northern countries. Hence my question. Strangely, it turns out that there is a...

    Black-headed weaver near Paris, France

    I photographed this Black-Headed Weaver on 23 December 2021 in a garden near my hometown about 25 km south-east of Paris. It showed up almost every day on a feeder from mid-December to the beginning of February and suddenly disappeared according to the owner of the feeder. It apparently changed...

    Guatemala birds - March 2020 -1

    It looks like the right wing is just as long as the tail. Is that of any help ?

    Yellow-billed Cacique in Guatemalan towns ?

    I've never seen the guatemalan Black Thrush, but if it looks like the european Common Blackbird, the birds I saw in Chichicastenango were stockier and of a deeper black. They had a faster direct flight. From what I recall, I immediately thought of an icterid because they had conic bills, note...

    Yellow-billed Cacique in Guatemalan towns ?

    During our trip to Guatemala, we stayed one day in the small town of Chichicastenango, north of Lake Atitlan, famous for its large market. A few times, we saw a group of 3 to 5 black birds, the size of cowbirds with yellow bills, flying fast and silently low over the houses and crowded streets...

    Guatemala birds - March 2020 -2

    OK for #5. Do you agree with Western Tanager for #4 ? Now looking thoroughly at my field guides (North America + Central America) and hundreds of photos in ebird... #2 could be an Acadian Flycatcher because of its longer tail, larger bill and apparently light throat. #3 has a shorter tail...

    Guatemala birds - March 2020 -1

    Looking at ebird photos of azure-crowned hummingbirds, I completely agree with you for 1, 2 and 5. For 3 : I was just wondering if the bird could be a juvenile (it still has some white down on its back ?) female canivet's emerald. I could find 1 or 2 quite similar birds among ebird pictures...

    Guatemala birds - March 2020 - Last post

    Last post. If you point the picture thumbnail with the mouse arrow, you'll see the location of the bird in the file name. If I have some idea of the species, it is also in the name of the picture. Swallows and a parrot for this last post. Stéphane

    Guatemala birds - March 2020 -3

    Third post. Still one to come. If you point the picture thumbnail with the mouse arrow, you'll see the location of the bird in the file name. If I have some idea of the species, it is also in the name of the picture. This post is about different passerines. Stéphane

    Second post for guatemalan birds. If you point the picture thumbnail with the mouse arrow, you'll see the location of the bird in the file name. If I have some idea of the species, it is also in the name of the picture. This second post is for flycatchers and tanagers. Thanks in advance. Stéphane

    Guatemala birds - March 2020 -1

    Hi everyone, I just came back from a trip in Guatemala and have a few birds I can not identify on some (rather poor quality) pictures. Could you help ? If you point the picture thumbnail with the mouse arrow, you'll see the location of the bird in the file name. If I have some idea of the...

    Texas sandpipers

    Hi, Can anyone tell me what these sandpipers are ? At least 2 different species I guess. Pictures were taken in Galveston (TX) by mid-April. Thanks in advance Stéphane

    Passerine in Swaziland

    Hi, I already posted this picture of a bird in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary in Swaziland, and some others of poorer quality, two months ago and did not have any answer. So I am trying again today and am giving my best guess, which might help, or not : Neddicky (Cisticola fulvicapilla). Does...

    Gull in southern Norway

    A friend of mine took this picture of a light-coloured gull in Stavanger (Norway) in July. Is this a Herring Gull ? If so, how old is he ? Stéphane

    Gull and Warbler in Greece (Peloponnese)

    Yes, I meant Reed Warbler, not Marsh. Marsh warbler is not found in this part of Greece, at least during the breeding season. There were also Cetti's Warbler in the area so I first thought that it might have been a juvenile of that species, but it looks much more like a Reed Warbler. About the...

    Gull and Warbler in Greece (Peloponnese)

    I recently took these pictures near Napflio in Greece (Peloponnese). I guess that the gull is a 3rd year Audouin's and that the warbler is a young Marsh. Do you agree ? Stéphane

    Buteo hawk in Myanmar

    Could it be a dark oriental honey-buzzard ?

    Buteo hawk in Myanmar

    This photographs were shot late March north of Pyin U Lwin in Myanmar. The bird looked like a buteo hawk. Any clue on that bird ? Stéphane
