We saw it! A Baltimore Oriole!
Bird Call identification, please!
Call repeats every 7 seconds or so, with little variation. Merlin didn't recognize, even with very clear recordings. This isn't a clear recording, as I accidentally went back and Merlin deleted the original. Much boosting and filtering, and of course a redwing started yelling NYAAH! over the top

Location: Toronto
Weather: warm, sunny (~25°C)
In foliage in our garden.

Any help appreciated

Can anyone identify this young bird?   It somehow got in the house but is now free in the garden again.

Clearly a youngster.  It was very round - about the size of a table tennis ball.  Very distinctive yellow/red markings on the head.  White chest, with olive, brown and black feathers.  Capable of flight but very small wings and almost no tail.  A tiny beak.

I wondered if it was a Goldcrest, but i thought they were only yellow crested.
For context, I am in South West Scotland.

#Bird #Birding #BirdIdentification #BirdID

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

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?

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.

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 ! ♥
