  • Please Confirm Scissor-tailed Flycatcher or Not

    Is this indeed a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher? If so, it is a bit out of place in North Florida. They are normally found in South Florida at certain times of the year.

  • Seabird Identification: Pensacola, Florida

    What kind of bird is this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0dZH-iKz48 ?  I found it on the beach in Pensacola Beach, Fl, and have seen them a few times.  They kind of flop up on the shore and just lay there like they are injured, but they aren't actually sick or injured at all.  Their legs are really far back too.

  • Help identifying bird....pic included.

    Hello everyone.  Can anyone identify this bird for me?  This picture was taken this morning (05/30/09) in Santa Cruz, CA.  We found the baby yesterday and, with instruction from local wildlife rescue, made a new ''nest'' as the baby can not fly and we don't know where the original nest is.  Bringing it in at night for ...
