    Recordings southern Costa Rica November 2022

    Might the bird from 20221111_0640 be a Morelet's Seedeater? For 20221129_1406 I think this might be a Chiriqui Foliage-gleaner (see: ML213028631 - Chiriqui Foliage-gleaner - Macaulay Library) For 20221129_1502: might this be a Bicolored Antbird? Only thing I could find that sounds similar Would...

    Recordings southern Costa Rica November 2022

    I attached a sonagramm of the song in the first recording I am looking for. I don't think it is the Grackle. While I can imagine that such a sound comes from a Black-bellied Wren I could not find any recording (at least not on eBird) that matches this call. Do you have anything? I will check...

    Recordings northern Costa Rica November 2022

    I remember that I thought about the Jay in the field as it was surely a target species for the location. Sadly I did not get to see it.

    Recordings southern Costa Rica November 2022

    Hello everyone, after a year I went through some sound recordings a year ago in Costa Rica. All were made with phone after I lost my recording device earlier during the trip. I am not good on bird songs and calls of the region, especially not after a year later. Maybe you can help me with...

    Marsh Sandpiper NE Germany

    Hello all, I saw the attached bird today in NE Germany near Kummerower See. There was a lot of bird activity there and I could observe the bird for a couple of minutes. It was the first bird to arrive at the spot I was watching after a White-tailed Eagle scared of the present waders. It...

    Jaeger in Brandenburg, Germany

    Hello all, a couple of days ago I saw this Jaeger at Gülper See in Eastern Germany. Unfortunately I did not get a good look at it as it took off right after I discovered it.

    unknown calls from NE Germany this morning

    I know about the Locustella warblers (both Grasshopper and Savi's singing simultaneously) and the cuckoo but I am talking about the 3 distinct calls in the foreground. The bird (if it was a bird) was closeby on the ground I think and definitely not a distance lapwing (which were around). I am...

    Eagles Georgia

    I just recently saw the second reply. As none of the replies gave an explanation for the ID I thought I bring this thread up again.
