    Advice for a guided tour in the Corpus Christi area for non-birding family?

    I'm visiting a mostly non-birding family (dad is into it) for the holidays in Corpus Christi, and I love getting them out into nature to look at birds and wildlife. In the past, we've done a boat tour looking at the whooping cranes, and a tour of King Ranch to see the ferruginous pygmy owl...

    Which tour / location for puffins?

    Seeing puffins is a dream of mine (I failed to see any in Scotland and Norway!). I'm hoping to go to Maine in July, but have no idea how to find the best tours / locations. I know the one tour that actually lands on the island and watches them through a blind is already all booked up for 2021...

    Best place / tour to see puffins in Maine?

    Seeing puffins is a dream of mine. I'm hoping to go to Maine in July, but have no idea how to find the best tours / locations. I've checked a few out and they seem to be already all booked up. Does anyone else have any recommendations? I don't know if it's possible to see them on land vs just by...

    Whose poop is this? Dallas, TX, today

    Oh, thanks for the suggestions! After googling pictures of poop, possum seems very promising. Whoever the visitor is has to be a great climber who came in from the roof, because there is almost nothing else around other than blank wall. I have a Wyze camera arriving today (should've arrived two...

    Whose poop is this? Dallas, TX, today

    On my third floor apartment balcony in Dallas, TX, I get blue jays, woodpeckers, sparrows, cardinals, and doves at my feeder. Between 7 p.m. and 11:30 a.m. someone left this ENORMOUS (thumb-sized) turd in the feeder and I am bewildered. Who could have left this? The balcony is not accessible to...

    Baby bird advice in Mississippi

    My friend in Mississippi says she found a baby bird on the ground. It looks to me like some sort of thrush, hermit thrush? She can't see any obvious nests nearby that look like it may have come from. Any advice on what to do? there are no wildlife rescue organizations near her. She hasn't seen...

    which wren in San Pancho, Mexico (near Puerto Vallarta)?

    Hi everyone, I can't figure out which wren this is in the Puerto Vallarta area because his head is so stripey. Is it a juvenile? Of course he's sitting vertically, hehe, but I rotated it for ease of ID. Oh, just realized he's a creeper. oops. But which one? Thanks, S.

    Difference between female black-capped and blue-gray gnatcatcher in Puerto Vallarta?

    Ah, i just noticed on eBird that the black-capped is rare in this area, so I guess it's the blue-gray. I still wonder how one could tell.

    what kind of flycatcher in Puerto Vallarta?

    Hi there, is this a dusky-capped flycatcher? From online pictures I'm not sure if the dusky-capped is supposed to have a yellow breast. Some of them have it and some don't. Maybe subspecies? Thanks! S.
