Lg Bird, Bad Photo, Need Help!

T Jones — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 17:50:31 GMT

If anyone can give me some idea of who this bird might be I would really appreciate the help.

This bird and I spotted (startled) each other at the same time. He barely touched the branch and took off. I had been photographing sparrows and couldn't focus fast enough to get a good shot of the big guy. The photos are way out of focus so any ideas are greatly appreciated.

This little bird flew into our picture window this morning. It recuperated on the back porch and then flew off none the worse for the encounter. We have been unable to identify it in our field guide. Location: Raleigh, NC – Wooded. Size: 3.5 – 4.5 inches. Color: Back - Greenish-Tan / Stomach – Yellowish-Tan Solid colored with no pattern. Body: Wren shaped. Head: 4 black stripes – one across each eye with yellowish-tan in-between. Legs: Pinkish Tan Song: Short high-pitched chirps like our microwave timer going off. We have identified 41 different birds in our back yard and would like to add this one to the list. Thanks for your help.

Central NJ, This bird has been coming to my back yard since mid April, it's about 11 inches long, (larger than a CatBird) it has long brown legs, a head like a Savannah Sparrow and chest markings like a Starling. I can't figure out if it's a thrush or a hybrid mix? Would appreciate help.

Hybred?

Las Vegas, Nevada. This bird is larger than the dozens of morning doves I feed in my backyard and considerably meaner. It looks similar to the morning doves but has a collard neck. Don't think it's a pigeon. Any ideas?

we found these birds in our roof and had to move them as we were fixing the roof. we are trying to find out what they are because we are going to take them to a rehabilitator tomorrow but they won't live through the night without food. i'd like to know what food they need but need to know what they are first! lol

Can anyone tell what bird this one is?

Photo was taken in Orange county, CA in April.

It was at just another park with a small lake in residential area.

There were mallards, domestic ducks, geese, American coots, a couple of muscovy ducks and such around there.

Thank you!

Who or what am I?

Unusual Bird in Northern California

Netnut — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 02:25:05 GMT

My friend Carolyne has a bird feeder in her backyard, and this past weekend, during the Great Backyard Bird Count, we spotted this unusual-looking bird.

We are in Belmont, California (ZIP code 94002), which is approximately 20 miles south of San Francisco; the area is identified as a Coastal Oak Community.

The "Expert Guide" on this site initially identified it as a House Wren, but the beak looks nothing like that of a House Wren. Perhaps this bird's beak is malformed?

This is a photo of the unusual bird at the feeder; opposite this bird (on the other side of the feeder) is a female House Finch, for comparison. The unusual bird is on the left, "circled" in red. If anyone has any information about this bird, please post a message...we've looked in guides and we're stumped! :-)

Thank you for helping us solve this mystery; we anxiously await your response! :-)

Sincerely,

Danelle and Carolyne
