CLOSED: Identify This Bird Please - Vol. 4

Thanks Resin...This is the first time I've seen this bird. There are several among the groundfeeders today. I guess the ice has brought the birds in today. There are even Song Sparrows out there! Many thanks again!

Rose

I think this may be a Female Red-wing Blackbird? I haven't noticed any Males around.

Thanks,
Rose

Yep, female Red-winged Blackbird

Resin

I can not find these in the duch section. Is it a Pied-billed Grebe?

Flew by this afternoon.

Here is a couple of more two miles from the other. one has caught a catfish and acts like it can not decide what to do with it.

f_chisolm, yes Pied-billed Grebe.

gardenpom, White Pelican.

Gary

Thanks Gary. I was thinking Pelican, but I'm usually wrong.

Mourning Dove?

Hopefully this pic. will turn out better?

Frank, where are you taking your water shots? I lived in Pearl for 10 years, sure wish I had been into bird watching, looks like I missed out on a lot of great birds down there...ah wasted youth, LOL!

Lily_love, because of the second one I would say yes, Mourning Dove

Thanks angele; they visit my new bird-feeder for the first time. I'm so tickled pink with all the birds that come and visit.
Kim

It is exciting, congratulations on the new bird :-)

Is this a house sparow? It's bigger than the Carolina chickadee, almost twice the size of the american finch.

Lily...Northern Mockingbird

Oh wow! They migrated South for the winter? Smart ones!!! Thanks OldNed.

Grandmaggie,

Your sparrow is called an English Sparrow where I come from.
Maybe just another name for the same bird.

Saw two hawks today and haven't a clue what they are.

Here is #l

Here is Hawk #2

Thanks for your help!

Please tell me this is a Tree Sparrow!! It had a single dark spot on its breast.

nanny, Do you mean an American Tree Sparrow?

Yes, sorry about that !! I am holding my breath!

Congrats nanny!

YEAH!!!!!!!!

Thanks Resin and Congrats Nanny!!

oldpepper - Yes, English Sparrow and House Sparrow are synonymous. We call them English Sparrows too...

House Sparrow is the correct name though. "English sparrow" is an unauthorised name change

This one's getting rather long now . . . starting vol. 5 here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/813866/
