CLOSED: Identify This Bird Please - Vol. 4

Thought the other thread was getting a little long! We came from here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/805992/#top


Sorry it is so bad!!

Female House Sparrow

Resin

Thanks for starting the new thread nanny.

Darn it, I thought that was what you might say!! Thanks

No problem, pelle!

What may this little guy be? He's pretty.

I tried to zoom in on him, so hang on....perching on a branch right in front of my window.

He's colorful indeed. If I were to feed him, what can I get for him? Anykind of birdseeds? I've recently purchase a feeder, I'd like to hang them right out of my window to attract more birds.....

One closer look, please I.D. and give some suggestion as to what kind of food I can provide for my little friends.

Looks like an Eastern Blue Bird to me. Any song bird mix ought to work I was wrong about the bird seed..

Live Meal Worms are their favorite food.

There are also suets that you can make for them.

In the Sticky at the top of the page (Helpful Guides and Tips) theres info on both these things in the second post (Sialis hyperlink) and the third post.

Yep, Eastern Bluebird

Resin

Thanks all for the I.D. Now my next quest is to study more about them. I'll begin with songbirds mixseed.

Is this a Ruby-crowned Kinglet?

Which sparrow is this?

Hooded Merganser?

Here they are in the water.

What are the ones at the top? The bottom two on the left are Northern Shoveler and the one at bottom right is a Hooded Merganser.

I think Goldfinch, dh is not so sure. So I told him I would ask...

#2 another bad one

Yep, American Goldfinch anyway!

Resin

I wonder what happened to the pictire.

A duck? or a decoy? No, it could not be a decoy; it flew away.

another shot of the last one with two other kinds on the right.

Green-winged Teal?

Bird here on the left I assume is just a female Blackbird. I don't really see that many females.

Female Brown-headed Cowbird.

Resin

Seemed larger than a female Cowbird to me....I have seen some females of this species...thought maybe I had something new. Many thanks, Resin.

I was worried it was a bit small! Shows how tricky size determination can be, even when there's something to compare with directly. The bill shape is spot on for cowbird though, too short and broad-based for any of the icterid blackbirds.

Resin

I have one visitor among many other little charming ones come to visit my new feeder. Please I.D.

American Goldfinch (female)

Resin

Resin, thank you.
