    Bird on pole?

    I saw this bird in Ottawa, Ontario a few weeks ago. I think it's a Red-tailed Hawk but I can't be certain. Can anyone confirm? I know the images are poor but I was driving by in my car at the time and had to make do with my cell phone camera.

    Red-tailed Hawk? (Ottawa, ON)

    Saw it perched by side of busy road this morning while driving - low quality pics were best I could do with cell phone. Big bird, medium-dark brown with white on breast. I only saw it perched but it looked like it had a patch of red near base of tail when viewed from the back. I've seen a...

    Nashville Warbler?

    Location is Ottawa, Canada. Saw it on a tree outside my home this afternoon. Merlin IDs it as a Nashville Warbler, but could it be an immature female Mourning Warbler, Yellow Warbler, or Common Yellowthroat?

    Sparrow ID

    Can someone please ID this sparrow for me (I assume it's a sparrow)? Location is Ottawa, ON. I'm sure it's something very common but it doesn't seem to fit song sparrow, white-crowned, house or chipping. I also have a picture of a woodpecker - I think it's a Hairy but I'm wondering if it could...

    Small Grey Birds

    I recently saw these small grey birds in front of my home in Ottawa. At first I assumed they were Dark-eyed Juncos but they seem a bit larger and with longer beaks, so I'm not sure what species they are and they may be a new sighting for me. Can someone please help ID them? Thanks.

    Unknow Bird Song

    I saw this bird at Mud Lake in Ottawa this morning. It was small, had a grey back and whitish belly with a black patch on the upper part of its breast. I was too far away to get a good photo but I did record its song. Both photo and audio file are attached. Photo won't help much with ID but...

    Wren & Crane ID

    I'm hoping to get a confirmation on two bird IDs. I saw the wren the other day in my back yard (Eastern Ontario) and I'm pretty sure it's a House Wren, but could it be a Winter Wren? The crane was in a field on Manitoulin Island last August. I think it's a Sandhill Crane, which are very...

    Barn Swallow?

    I saw a few of these in Ottawa, Ontario recently. They looked pretty dark in colour but it was a cloudy day and I couldn't get a close look. Underbelly looks somewhat pale in the photo. I think it's a Barn Swallow because of the forked tail. Can anyone confirm?

    Unknown Coastal Birds

    Hello Again! I saw a few birds on a recent trip to Tadoussac (Quebec, along St. Lawrence & Saguenay rivers), and here are four that I can't ID. I have 2 pics of each bird. Here are my thoughts: 1. Big Black Bird: Double Crested Cormorant? 2. Brown Bird: Spotted Sandpiper? 3. Grey Bird (a...

    Turkey Vulture?

    Can anyone confirm if this is a Turkey Vulture? Location is Ottawa, Ontario. I suspect it's a Turkey Vulture but I'm hoping it might be something else - a hawk, perhaps.

    I saw this bird flying above my home in Ottawa, Canada. It was big, had a white underside with black wing tips, and was hovering over the treetops looking for prey. Can someone please help ID it? Thanks!
