    Printer colors completely off

    Hi there, Would someone be so kind to point me to someplace that can help me configure my printer preperly again? I have a Canon Pixma 9000 which used to print beautifully. But as of late the colors are all wrong. Everything is too purple, too dark, too strong in contrast. I am at my wits' end...

    A few IDs - Bavaria, Germany

    Hi there, Had some trouble with a few IDs while birding the lower Inn in Bavaria last week. All of the below were seen in a marshy wet riparian forest with extensive reedbeds along the Inn river. Thanks in advance! Misha http://img193.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=img0142crs.jpg My guesses: 1...

    Weird Warblers - Chicago, IL

    Two difficult ones for me. No.1 was seen on 5/20. It's the only pic I got of this one. It suddenly landed right in front of me and then flew off. The pic is uncropped. Female Black-throated Blue? No.2 was taken this morning. I initially thought female/immature Magnolia, but the striping on...

    Shorebirds - San Elijo Lagoon, Southern CA

    Hi people, Was in San Diego last week and went out to San Elijo Lagoon twice to see some birds. Wasn't entirely sure on these. Are these Short-billed Dowitchers? http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/3501/img0968crszw5.jpg http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/4563/img0976crsjz0.jpg...

    Lübeck, Germany Warblers

    Hi people, I always have trouble with European warblers. All of these pics were taken last Wednesday at the Schellbruch wetland preserve near Lübeck, Germany. Can't decide whether these are Reed Warblers or Marsh Warblers. No.1: http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/9426/img0072crsis9.jpg...

    San Diego: Townsend's Solitaire or W. Bluebird?

    Hi guys, I have one more from my trip to San Diego. The following pic is also from Palomar Mountain State Park. The tail seems long for a Western Bluebird juvenile (of which there were plenty) and also I see no hint of blue. Bill also seems different. Was wondering if it's perhaps a Townsend's...

    2 IDs, Hoge Veluwe, Netherlands

    Hi people, We had some trouble with these two. They were both in the same shrub on an open meadow in the Hoge Veluwe National Park in the Netherlands. Photos were taken last week Wednesday. We thought the first one (pics 1-3) could be a Garden Warbler, due to the short stubby bill and that...

    Common Buzzard or Rough-Legged? Münster, Germany

    Hi folks, Took these very distant shots last week at the Rieselfelder Münster, Germany. We weren't sure whether this might be a Rough Legged or just a Common Buzzard. Thanks in advance. Misha

    Three IDs - Bochum, Gemany this morning

    Hi people, Having trouble with these three seen this morning at the Kemnader See near Bochum, Germany. The treecreeper I think is of the regular kind, not Short-toed, due to absence of white tips on wings and relatively long hindclaw. No idea on No.2. Chiffchaff? Is the gull just a Common...

    Northwest Germany in Early August

    Hi all, I will be in the Münster (Westfalen) area in early August for a wedding. Any recommendations on where to go birding around there or within a few hours drive? Would a day- (or two) trip to the Wattenmeer be feasible? If so, where? Many thanks in advance. Misha

    Ringed Peregrine

    Hi there, Took some pictures of a twice-ringed Peregrine that stopped over on Northwestern University's campus in Evanston, IL on 11/18/07. You can clearly see it has a green and a fuchsia ring. If you know to whom this sighting might be of interest, please let me know. The little guy seemed a...

    Dead Bird ID - Winston-Salem, NC

    A friend of mine asked me to ID this. Poor little guy hit a window in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Looks to me like a Northern Mockingbird, but I have zero experience with this species in the wild. Would apprecieate confirmation. Thanks in advance. Misha

    WI Green-Breasted Mango now in Zoo

    See the article below: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-lostbird_webnov14,0,1839841.story?coll=chi_tab01_layout Just wondering if the reporting there is accurate in that the bird would not have survived in the wild. If it migrated to WI on its own, would it not have had the sense...

    Two California Birds

    Two truly lousy pictures for your puzzling enjoyment: No.1 is an unidentified hummingbird. As a bonus, I have no idea where I took this. It was either in a wooded valley near Pasadena or possibly somewhere near Santa Monica. No.2 was walking along the cliffs in La Jolla, not minding the...

    Hoge Veluwe in March?

    I may have an opportunity to go to Hoge Veluwe in mid-March. Is that a good time? Will migrants have returned already from their wintering areas? What are particularly good places in the park for birding? Thanks in advance. Misha

    Canon Pixma Pro9000 - worth the money?

    Hi folks, I am toying with the idea of getting the above, as B&H is offering a $100 rebate. Wondering if any of you have this and how you like it. Thanks in advance.

    Blackpoll Warbler? Chicago Botanic Gardens

    I thought this was a Blackpoll Warbler, but the yellowish under the tail has me confused. I took this picture last Sunday at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. This guy was foraging on the ground. Sibley says for the Blackpoll that "fall plumages can be confusing", but where does this guy get the...
