    Dancing with the Birds

    Has anyone seen "Dancing with the Birds" on Netflix? The wife and I found it very informative on bird behavior and mating rituals. A very entertaining and even funny documentary, I recommend it highly to learn about bird behaviors.

    North America - Northern Idaho - Bonner County - Cassin's Finch?

    I thought it looked kind of slender compared to the ones I saw on the Allaboutbirds.org, but it still looks like it could be a Cassin's Finch.

    Dark Morph variety Red Tailed Hawk? Or Something else? - Bonner County, Northern Idaho.

    The closest I found to this hawk was a "Dark Morph" variety of Red Tailed Hawk, but it could also be another type, any input would be great. :)

    Black Capped Chickadee and snow shoveling.

    Was in the driveway snow shoveling and looked up and there was a pair of Black Capped Chickadees bouncing around the feeders. I hated to have to throw snow their direction while they are eating, since it was so nice of them to join me while I was trudging away in the driveway.

    U.S - Northern Oregon Coast - Solid black water bird.

    I took several shots of this bird during our (My wife and I) visit to the Northern Oregon coast, I researched it, but the best I could come up with is a Pelagic Cormorant, but not sure due to the overcast and foggy conditions.

    United States - Northern Idaho - Black w/white-ish specks

    I don't believe I've seen this bird around, I thought it might have been a species of woodpecker that drops by in the fall, but not sure.

    No scent spray?

    No-scent spray for more effective birdwatching? I was wondering if it would make a difference 🤔

    Crossbill? Northern Idaho - last spring.

    Northern Idaho - male house finch?

    Thanks for all who replied to help ID what turned out to be a Pine Siskin. This one turned up just yesterday afternoon and it looks like it could be of the Finch variety, that is if I'm not mistaken. (Yes, I need a better bird guide)
