    Breeding Behaviour of Chihuhuan Ravens in South East Arizona

    I retired in SE Arizona which is an amazing place for birding. I was hoping I might see an occasional Chihuahuan Raven as opposed to the more Common Ravens in the area. Turns out Chihuhuan Ravens are a yard bird for me! But the big puzzle is this one. This is the 2nd season I am here in the...

    Unusual songbird in Baja California

    hybrid? I wonder if this is a hybrid of some sort. Not confident yet of either Hooded or Bullocks. Thanks for comments. Anyone else want to weigh in?

    Unusual songbird in Baja California

    Excellent suggestion The black crown is the puzzle. If you look at Hooded Oriole it fits well for young male but the black is usually restricted to the throat and around the eyes.

    Unusual songbird in Baja California

    This looks a bit like an oriole but has me puzzled! It was filmed in Baja California. Would it be some sort of avicultural exotic? Any suggestions?

    Exotic escaped Waxbill in California?

    I had this photo passed on to me by a local person here in Marin County California. It reminds me of the African waxbills but perhaps its just an oddly colored local species. Any suggestions? Definitely a mystery to me anyway. Thanks very much

    Your Most Recent "Life" Bird

    New Life Bird This could be a Life Bird but I can't Identify it. Filmed by a local person here in Marin County. I am thinking some sort of escaped finch here in northern California. Any guesses?

    Greece birding mountains and beaches

    Am I asking too much here I wonder. Will be in Greece soon and hoping to learn from others where I might do a bit of beach relaxation but also be within reasonable distance to mountains and other spots for birding. Would love to see Blue Rock Thrush and Black Woodpecker for example. Tips from...

    Oddity strange coloration Lake Tahoe California

    Sorry about this one but this gal had snapped only one pic of the bird. Based on some great assessments I am inclined to focus on Leucistic Brewers Blackbird as well.

    Oddity strange coloration Lake Tahoe California

    Simply that I interacted with the photographer who summers at Lake Tahoe and she is legit. Sometimes doubting everything can be overkill when it comes to critical thinking.

    Oddity strange coloration Lake Tahoe California

    I am thinking you guys are correct? What do you think about leucistic Yellow-headed Blackbird which are also in this area.

    Oddity strange coloration Lake Tahoe California

    This bird was filmed in a settled location in Lake Tahoe California. The lady that filmed it gave me very little information. I suspect it is a leucistic or specimen with abnormal melanin in its plumage. This should be a fun mystery for others. It has me scratching my head and I know birds...
