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.

I don't know if this is even possible, but is it possible to identify a specific blue jay? We had a Blue Jay (that we named Charlie) that was extremely comfortable around us, he entered our home, sat on my shoulders - he is the reason I became a bird watcher and grew to understand the magnificence of birds.

Yesterday I saw a bird I have never seen before.  I live at Lake Tahoe on the west shore (Calif side), above 6000ft elev.  My backyard is conifer forest with a clearing containing native and lawn type grasses.  At first I thought it was a female mallard, all speckled tan color.  Similar size and shape.  We do have mallards ...

Unknown accipiter --can anyone give clues without a photo?  Its solid medium gray underside and lack of underside barring or streaking has us puzzled. SEEN:  06-12-08  7 p.m. Suburb of North Indianapolis Indiana backyard --standing on the ground with grackles and robins diving and screaming at it.  This area has some ...

I saw a bird in the Yucatan that was the exact shape and size of a bare-throated tiger heron. It did not have a bare throat. It had a yellow throat with bars resembling a ladder. It also had a dark azure, almost aquamarine cap with an orange edge to it. The rest of the coloring was typical of a bare-throated tiger heron, and very distinctive, as ...
