Hi. I saw this bird playing in my pond. He/she has a steel blue back with a yellow chest. I would love to get an ID. Thanks

This small bird (finch sized) was in my backyard in Lady Lake, Florida. It has a green back and was first seen on the ground and in an Azalea before going to the sunflower seeds and water. I cannot identify this little bird and was hoping to get some help. Thank you in advance.

Spotted this hawk in Central Florida today in a preserve near Disney. I can’t tell if it is a broad-winged hawk or an immature red tailed hawk. What do you think?

I posted two photos here: I'm thinking this is an immature Coopers Hawk, I have seen adult Coopers around the area, this one has a lot of white on its head and shoulders and a very long tail. It was also unusually nonchalant as I filmed it - adult Coopers Hawks around here are notoriously stealthy and will not abide being looked at once discovered. Red Shouldered hawks are common around here but I'm pretty sure it is not one of those. Thanks

HELLO! Longtime Whatbird user, first-time poster. Happy to be here! I recently went on a week-long trip to St Augustine, Florida (it's along the coast on the northeast part of the state, near Georgia) and I spotted this fellow hanging out at one of the piers! I'm undecided as to whether it's a boat-tailed grackle or perhaps a fish crow - I unfortunately didn't get to hear any cries from it so I can't use that as an identifier. It was hanging out on its own - I saw plenty of yellow-eyed common grackles on my trip (we have tons of them here in Austin, where I live, so they're an easy ID for me) but this bird seemed to be solitary. Many thanks for the help with the ID! https://imgur.com/a/cHkJF

Pinellas co., FL; 6/30/2017 6th bird from left is the one in question. L-R: LG Gull, Peep, Peep, LG, peep, then ?? Royal vs. out-of-perspective Least vs. other Looking at the other LTs in the photo (mid-foreground & mid-background), the tern in question seems closer in size to the LGs, and seems to tower over the peeps, but the head pattern looks like a LT. I cannot determine bill color.

Hi, All-- This photo was taken 6/30/2017, Pinellas co., FL (eastern Gulf Coast). I thought it was a Great Black-backed Gull b/c of the black back and pink legs, dark eyes, and orange spot on bill, but saw those are not common on the Gulf coast of FL, and should consider Lesser BBG instead??? This bird was huge.

5/20/17, pre-dawn in Cocoa Beach, FL. Pretty far off the shore. Some kind of gull?

I saw this bird in the early morning hours of this week in Port St Lucie, FL. If you expand the picture you see a near-circle of white around the eyes and a dark throat. It's probably about 2-feet tall. I struck out going through the Fish and Wildlife Commisipn website so I'm turning to the pros.

Hi--not a herpetologist, but avid nature-lover. This was posted on FB with comment, "not a copperhead", which I can recognize it is not. I have 2 questions: 1. Is it a cottonmouth? If not, what is the snake? 2. Are copperheads truly not native to Okaloosa county? We've seen more copperheads in the FL panhandle than anywhere else--especially around the Choctawhatchee River Basin. http://wkrg.com/2017/06/01/crestview-police-remove-copperhead-found-by-neighborhood-child/

I believe this is a vireo, but I'm not sure which one ... Bell's seems a possibility? It was in coastal Palm Beach County, Florida; high in the canopy; devouring a dragonfly. Thanks!
