    U.S. Alabama: Unlikely Oriole?

    Following Up Thanks, Patrick. Special thanks to "Birderbf," for letting the powers that be know about this bird. Like I said, I am not experienced enough to recognize the significance. In the interest of following up, the bird returned today and it's feeding on a neighbor's satsumas. We...

    U.S. Alabama: Unlikely Oriole?

    Thanks again, folks! I have birders in my yard right now and, thankfully, the bird has made an encore appearance. Whew. I was worried someone would think I created it with photoshop or something. LOL

    U.S. Alabama: Unlikely Oriole?

    Hello all, and thanks for looking. This afternoon I spotted this bird at a feeder on the Alabama Gulf Coast. I've never seen anything like it here. The closest thing I find in my books (Kaufman, Sibley) is a hooded oriole. Can anyone confirm that or set me straight? Thanks so much. You...

    U.S. - South Texas Bird in Alabama?

    Amateur alert! I may be way off base, but I looked up this bird in my nifty Kaufman field guide and I think it looks like a Couch or Tropical Kingbird. That would be remarkable, because their range is supposedly south Texas. This one was on the Alabama Gulf Coast in a marshy area right on the...

    Adult, non-breeding Sora as seen 4/12/07 on Plash Island on the Alabama Gulf Coast. I think he must've been in mid-migration.

    Alabama Raptor?

    On the day I saw this bird at Fort Morgan on the Alabama Gulf Coast, I saw many kestrels newly arrived for winter. This is not a kestrel, right? For some reason, I have trouble identifying raptors. Is this a merlin? Thanks in advance! Kathy
