    Scaup

    Thanks for the replies and for the question Butty. Head appears rounded and not domed/peaked like the male Lesser Scaups in the pictures. Also the bill appears larger than the nearby lesser. Might be a perspective thing though. I tried to get different angles of the head. Resolution isnt...

    Scaup

    Would like some help with these scaup. Ignoring the Ring-necked duck and the American wigeon in the pictures. Is the female scaup a Greater scaup? Pictures taken today in Indiana. Thanks.

    Ducks in flight

    Having a hard time identifying from these flight pictures. I do better when they are sitting and closer to me. All the same flock of waterfowl. Just different lighting conditions from the morning sun. Photos taken 10/6/23 in Indiana. Thanks.

    Blackpoll Warbler?

    Still working on getting better at fall warblers. Appears to me that it has orange feet, white wing bars and white under tail coverts. The pictures may not be of the same bird. I was chasing it from tree to tree. Pictures taken 9/20/23 in Indiana. Thanks.

    Hawk ID Indiana

    Thanks qwerty5. I didnt notice the translucent crescent on the wing and was hoping for a broad-winged hawk after only seeing 4 fingers. Probably was just a bad angle to get the proper count. A Red-shoulder hawk has been hanging out in this area lately. Thanks again!

    Hawk ID Indiana

    Pictures taken 9/3/23 and were lightened to see more details. I think I only see 4 primary tips/fingers but maybe it is the angle or my eyes.

    Italy

    Thanks Vergan. Curses, missed the eared grebe. Only seen one once before in breeding plumage. I should of looked at the head shape a little more carefully. Here is a another picture of the eared grebe.

    Brewer's Blackbird?

    Looking to verify Brewer's Blackbird. New bird for me and not a common bird here. Brewer's Backbirds were seen earlier in the day at this location. I was having a hard time sorting through all the Common Grackles that were present. Was only able to quickly view and take these pictures before...

    Greater or Lesser Scaup

    Pictures taken in Indiana 3/09/23. Lighting not great. Head appears pretty smooth but I cant tell if there is a slight peak/notch towards the back of the head. Thanks.

    Herring gull or Lesser Black-backed gull

    Not up on my gulls. There were mature version of both of these species at this location at the time of pictures. Tips on identifying immature gulls of these two species would be great. Pics taken in Indiana today. Thanks.

    Trumpeter or Tundra Swan?

    Thanks for the help birdmeister. Both species have been known to be present at this location in the past. Just couldn't get close enough to get a better look or pictures. Will try harder next time. :). Guess it will go down as a Trumpeter/Tundra Swan. Thanks again!

    Trumpeter or Tundra Swan?

    Is it possible to tell from these images? There were a group of Swans way out there and these were the best pictures I could get. Pictures taken end of January in Indiana. Thanks.

    Black Vulture?

    Picture taken 12/13/22 in Indiana(USA). Usually we get turkey vultures around here but Black Vultures venture through from time to time. I am just not use to seeing them, so I am looking for verification. Thanks.

    Least Sandpiper? USA

    Not a typical location for me to see this bird. It was about 150 feet from the waters edge and in the grass. Didnt seem to fly well( maybe injured). I lightened up a picture to try and get a better look at the legs. Seem yellowish or it could be grass. Picture taken 11/21/22 in Indiana. Thanks.

    Eastern Wood-Pewee or Olive sided? USA

    Looking for help on pictures 1 and 2. Bird 3 is an olive-sided but I never got a look at the front side(1st time bird for me). I think picture 1 and 2 are the same bird that changed locations as I walked along the field. The bird in the first 2 pictures has a dark vest, white throat but...
