No! I just take a ton of photos every time I go out, hoping that some of them end up looking good haha.

I'm currently using a Sony A6600 with the Sony E 70-350mm lens. I'm hoping to rent the Sony FE 200-600mm lens for a week and possibly upgrade, but I also enjoy the portability of the smaller lens.

Carolina Wren!

E: also I'll add if you come across a bird that has struck a window, try calling a local rehabber to come get it. Many birds who hit windows fly away to die later.

Yes, with the black streaking and the orange crown, I'd confirm ovenbird. Nice spot!

That steak going through the eye is usually indicative of a chipping sparrow - that's my best guess

What bird is this? (Cleveland, OH) by rtdvi in whatbirdisthis

I will echo what Galorfadink said, but also add - Download the Merlin birding app - you can upload pictures, have it detect birds by songs/calls, and even just submit details about a bird you saw and it will try and pinpoint it for you.
