    Osprey subspecies?

    I saw this lovely pair in the Everglades National Park. The bird to the left seems an obvious "American Osprey", carolinensis. The bird on the right seems quite pale, however. Is it a possible ridgwayi? Thanks!

    Palo Alto California - Whimbrel vs Curlew

    1) I am fairly certain that this a Whimbrel, but a bit earlier I saw 2) and thought that this was a Long-billed Curlew. In retrospect, the one Long-billed I had seen previously had a much longer bill and a bit more color. Now I'm not sure what #2 is? Is this an immature or...? Thanks!

    Palo Alto, California USA - last mix

    Seen in October in Palo Alto Baylands. 1 - 2) At first I thought the dark underwing spot was odd shadow play, but now I don't think so. Who has this? 3 - 4) I have been unable to find a clear ID match for this sparrow. At least it was willing to pose for the pics. 5) Dowitcher or...? Thanks...

    North Carolina USA - Downy vs Hairy

    1 -2 Same bird. Downy or hybrid? There are spots on the right side of the tail, but the spots to the left are very faint. Is the feather a fluke? 3 - 5 Same bird, but I don't think it is the same as the first. (They were seen near the same location, a riverside park.) I know Hairy are...

    Mountain View, California USA - longshot sparrow

    Seen in late October, only a couple of yards from the Bay. I tried Birdnet twice; each time it could not give a certain ID, but suggested Brewer's Sparrow. The sound quality was so bad (vehicles, equipment, wind, waves, people, at al) that I am surprised that the app could make any suggestions...

    SW Florida - peeps, Least Sandpiper?

    Seen this morning at Lakes Park (somewhat away from the coast). Both Least and Western are supposed to be out of season here during the summer...and it is very summer right now. This group of eight were hanging out with a killdeer, at least a third larger than they were. Thanks!

    SW Florida - odd crow-ish bird

    Seen yesterday in the company of Fish Crow and Boat-tailed Grackle. Perhaps slightly larger than the grackles, but much smaller than the Fish Crows. The tail seemed boxy like the crows, not wedge-ish like the grackles. Note the grey ring around the neck. My first thought was that it was a...

    "Blue" Snow Goose? - Washington State USA

    Over 2000 white geese and who catches my eye? "Blue," malanistic or something else enjoying that community feeling? (Why is it called blue, if they are brown?) Yes, this is the first time I have seen Snow Geese close up! Thanks!
