    Hawk ID in Southern Illinois

    I took this photo back in February in the southern tip of Illinois. I was wondering if it was the Krider's variant of the Red-tailed Hawk.

    I went out to get back in the swing of things and hopefully see some migrants, and I ran across this guy and for some reason I am drawing a blank. Can someone help clear my mental block?

    Hummingbird, South Texas

    Is there anything in these photos that can determine whether this is a Rufous or Allen's Hummingbird? I think these are two separate birds in the same place.

    Hawk, South Texas

    I've only been to Texas once and from looking at guides I would think White-tailed Hawk but on my list I only had Harris's Hawk written down for this location. There does seem to be some red on the wing, but the tail and chest I thought were wrong for Harris's. Maybe it's a juvenile?

    South Texas sparrow

    Looking at Sibley, I thought maybe a Brewer's? Somewhat wrong location though. Seen last week. Thanks for any help.

    Outer Banks ducks

    I have here some scaup, and I assumed lesser, can someone verify lesser or greater for me? Also, my lifer Long-tailed duck - I thought female until I looked at the white on the back. Is it a male or female? Thanks for the help!

    Ducks, North Carolina

    When I saw these I wrote them off as Mallards, but now that I look at this very blurry and distant photo, I wonder if they are actually Northern Shovelers. The bills look like Mallard but some of the body coloration looks more like shoveler. Any opinions?

    Gulls, central North Carolina

    I find gulls so difficult. Why can't they just keep one plumage? My guesses are Herring Gull and Bonaparte.

    Fox Sparrow? North Carolina

    I saw this in the Uwharrie Mountains yesterday. It was raining so I wasn't using my good camera. At the time I thought it was thrush sized and I only got a glimpse. It's clearly not a Hermit Thrush though, my only other thought is Fox Sparrow? It doesn't seem to fit Song, and I think it was...

    distant flock, North Carolina

    Can anyone tell what these are? They kind of look like Double-crested Cormorants to me, but I was also wondering if we are finally getting some ducks to migrate in.

    northern North Carolina thrush ID

    I took these 3 days ago. Is one of them a Swainson's or are both Hermit? Swainson's is marked rare in ebird at this time of year, although it would just be a little bit late I think. I am looking at the spots which end pretty high up on one of them, but then I don't know their faces well...

    Audio - North Carolina

    Is this maybe a Yellow Warbler? This is a recording from July. The song goes three times, there is a pretty clear one around 11 seconds in.

    Thrush ID? North Carolina

    I got this on a trail at the summit of Mount Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi. Maybe it is impossible to ID this based on the photo, but I thought I'd give you guys a shot. I thought it was a Hermit Thrush when I saw it, can anyone confirm or deny that?

    Sparrow ID - North Carolina

    When I saw this guy I put down Chipping Sparrow, but when I looked at the photos and saw that eye, it made me think Field Sparrow. After consulting the books, I am not sure, for all I know it could be an American Tree Sparrow. Can someone help out? (Although I suspect my first impression will...

    strange Prairie Warbler?

    I thought this was a Prairie Warbler, but the undertail is wrong. According to all my books, it should be white, not black. Am I missing something? Magnolia has a black undertail but the face looks like Prairie to me.

    Flycatcher? North Carolina

    Am I just looking at a Pewee or is this an Empidonax species? I really struggle with these guys.
