    Small Flycatcher ID Help (Green Valley, AZ)

    I think you nailed it. In looking at my field guide, this is the closest match to my eye also.

    Small Flycatcher ID Help (Green Valley, AZ)

    Thanks for your reply. The color looks like a Say's Phoebe but it is much smaller.

    Sharp-shinned or Cooper's Hawk (Green Valley, AZ)

    Thanks for the kind words! Here is another photo showing that the individual doesn't appear to have "a dark crown" like a Cooper's, either. And I looked at some other Cooper's shots, and they do have thicker legs and much darker crowns. Appreciate your taking the time to comment.

    Sparrow ID (Amado, AZ)

    Thank you very much. Yes, it seemed quite a bit different. I love photographing birds, but don't know too much the about them. Appreciate the response.

    Ladder-Backed Woodpecker?? (Portal, AZ)

    I've had friends assure me the above specimen is a Ladder-backed Woodpecker. But how about the specimen here, below? Ladder-backed or Hairy Woodpecker? Thanks for any help!

    White-Throated Sparrow? (Portal, AZ)

    Thank you very much. I thought it was, but the reference photos I saw showed much more white "side patches" adjacent to the direct throat. Appreciate the confirmation!

    Duck ID Help (Amado, AZ)

    Nowhere near rich. But I do have the wherewithal to work hard and invest in what I want to own. I'm not the desperate one here. You are the one desperately trying to validate what was clearly a derision, especially since you were wrong and assumed the deck in question was "tame." It was not...

    Duck ID Help (Amado, AZ)

    First of all, I don't appreciate your condescension. Second, what makes you think it was tame? How close I got? Maybe, if you had a clue, you could download my image, harvest the EXIF data, and you would recognize that I shot the image @ 1200mm with a $16,000 lens. It was nowhere near tame —...

    Desert Song Sparrow (???) / Clay-Colored Sparrow (???), Green Valley, AZ

    Another image ... Again, my apologies I couldn't get a clear shot. Too many sticks in the way. But for sure, at least to my eye, it looks like a Lincoln's. My own opinion is color is important. Birds actually see more colors than we do. The song sparrow looks darker, more brick-colored...
