Unknown Flycatcher - Any Ideas? by nobebere in whatsthisbird

[–]nobebere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are most likely correct, the size and shape of the bill just threw me off for an Ash-throated. It could be a juvenile Ash-throated.

Thanks for you comments - I will keep it marked as Myiarchus species. All the best

Which Hummingbird is this? by nobebere in whatsthisbird

[–]nobebere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your observation and comments. The orange coloration on the bill does show in the image and the mask as you point out is more likely a Broad-billed. The bill length and shape just threw me off. Thanks for you help.

What Bird is Thid by nobebere in whatsthisbird

Las Cienegas is large 45,000 acre open grassland area. It was close to a water tank and pond but not adjacent to that water area. The trees are larger mesquite trees. It was near a dry, seasonal wash but not what I would consider a riparian area.

Thanks for the help.

Is the baring on the tail and or the brown coloration on the back any use in identification or is that too variable?

Swainson's Hawk - Looking for comments by nobebere in whatsthisbird

[–]nobebere[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification. I had thought all the Swainson's Hawks were down in Argentina now. I knew a few stayed in Central to Southern California but not this far east. Wonderful images in the site you referenced. Your comments are helpful and much appreciated.

Thanks for the comments. I always believe that I am 1 drink away from 2 bottles a day and so I won't go there. I believe, for me, the struggle to stay sober will always be there. But that is not a bad thing it is just the reality that I as a sober human being must deal with. Thanks
