CLOSED: Identify this bird, please! Vol 9.

Female House Sparrow!

BTW, with Bird Ident having its own forum now, it'd be better to start each query as a new thread, rather than continuing with this volume . . . it'll make things easier when the 'Mark as SOLVED' feature is added soon.

I thought this one might be a female Blue Grosbeak but not sure.

Thanks Resin...good grief you'd think I'd know that by now!!!

Sorry, that one's a female Brown-headed Cowbird!

Thanks Resin...I'm going back to square one! I think I am suffering from wishful thinking! LOL!

Thanks Resin! Just when I thought I was getting a clue about warblers, now I've got a warbling vireo....oh dear!!

Of the red finches, I've only added House Finch to my life list. I'm wondering if this might be a new one to add? Only got this one photo. It is already getting hot here in New Mexico and the birds are looking for shade too :-)

edited to add: just read your post about starting a new thread Resin, sorry I didn't see it before. Next time!!

That looks like a Cassin's Finch you have there. Hard to tell from Purple Finch from this photo, but Purple Finch wouldn't normally be in NM.

Thank you Resin. YOU are very much appreciated :-)
