  11. bad photos are often still good enough to confirm #BirdIdentification

    i don't want to frighten my hummingbird away from the feeders during these freeze days so this is shot through window glass while he dines at the far feeder > terrible picture but you can still confirm species - note the black "chin" and slight contrast with the purple at the bottom of the gorget

  15. Seeking wisdom from anyone familiar with bird banding and experience with reporting a bird band number… more specifically, I would like to know if it’s possible to report a partial number?

    The backstory: I've been observing a family of Swainson’s hawks in our neighbourhood for the last 9 years. A new male replaced the patriarch in 2023. He is banded.

    Despite my best photographing efforts, I have only confirmed the last 5 digits of the number, plus one other digit for sure (but unsure of its position). He will surely be leaving soon on his epic migration to Argentina.

    I would love to know his story. Am I out of luck?

  20. Close encounter: during a walk in local park last week, this cutie flew down and sat for minutes on a branch right in front of me. My guess an Eastern Wood-Pewee from slightly paler lower beak, but I could be wrong. Expert opinion will be appreciated.

  21. D'ailleurs, vous m'aideriez à identifier ces oiseaux que j'ai photographié il y a deux semaines ?

    Je pourrais utiliser l'IA, mais c'est plus sympathique et convivial de vous demander à vous ! ♥

  22. @Krisss

    I think the alt text is trying to say "flamingo". This is incorrect. It is an #Ibis based on the curved bill shape. There is such a thing as a Scarlet Ibis, so perhaps that is what it is?

  23. Today's game of Name that Birb is a tough one... no, Merlin doesn't know, Google doesn't know... I'll come back later (or tomorrow if Christmas gets too crazy with the answer)
