Birds of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - need ID help (1 Viewer)

[chris8030]

Hello, all these pictures were taken in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. There are a few species I need help identifying. None of the pictures are very good I'm afraid, which makes it tougher...but any help I can get will be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

HELP, can't figure out how to post images here! Image tags don't seem to work!

Must admit you'll get more takers if you post thumbnails Chris!!
Click on the 'Go Advanced' tab below the message box and then click the paperclip icon which will open up another box where you can upload the images from your computer (max of 5 per posting). Just make sure the size isn't too big (eg Jpeg max is 297.7KB)

1., 2. White-collared Seedeater

4. Sinaloa Wren

5. Juvenile Rufous-backed Thrush

6. Interesting bird- probably a sub-adult pale morph Reddish Egret?

7. Spotted Sandpiper

8. White-collared Seedeater (female)

9. Black Tern

10. Black Storm-Petrel

11. Laughing Gull

Thank you so much Birdingcraft! My pics are all too big to upload to this page, so I was afraid no one would look at them.

The egret was with a snowy egret, which had the typical yellow feet. I thought this may a female snowy, but I guess not. Its legs, feet and bill were all black, that much I am sure of.

Thanks again :t:

What is the black bird behind the egret in second image of No 6? I guess Neotropic Cormorant, but I am not used to see the head in that angle.

Yes, it is a Neotropic Cormorant.
