^^I thought it a dark bill, but appearing light due to glare. Can't wait to hear from others. I like the birding quizzes. :)

I'm leaning towards female Rose-breasted on Bob's grosbeak due to the coarse streaking across center of breast, I can't tell if the bill is bi-colored or not.


Cyndie, love that SASP sitting on the yellow lichen covered stump.

Look at this immature male Rose-Breasted Grosbeak here: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/rose-breasted_grosbeak/id

He's pretty streaky too and has the rosy wash on his breast. Not being stubborn, but would love to learn more about discerning the two (immature male and adult female).

Well, Crimpie, Bob's boid does bear a passing resemblance to the one in yer link, including
its bill. Rosies' normal range limit isn't too far from Taos so it isn't a huge stretch.

BN,

Pic #5 is a Red-breasted Merganser, not a grebe.

We went on a pelagic trip out of Ft. Bragg last weekend. I'll post a few photos soon.

New feeder birds this year: Blue Grosbeak and Lazuli Bunting. House Wrens nesting in the front yard. Young Robins in the back (until a squirrel dined on their eggs).

Bump.

F*#king Muskrats..

Here are a couple from this last trip.

I have determined after many hours of study that this is a California Gull.




And a Black headed Grosbeak doing his freakazoid thing.


This shot was good fun because it was from a long way off, so I did not know what it was.

But when I zoomed in there was only one thing It could be,,, six thousand feet at Lake Tahoe.

Townsend Solitaire.



I don't think it could be any other bird.

Bird bump. Some big bird pics from High Island Texas in late March for something a little different. BobD - thanks, the Redstart has been a nice local addition this week :-)
I won't be posting for a little while, so happy birding everyone!

Saw this nesting Bald Eagle near Mammoth last weekend. A life lister for me. Sorry for the crappy cell phone picture.

Next year, we will do at least a phase of Birdapalooza at High Island. The rookery there (where those photos were taken) is mind-blowing and endlessly entertaining! Dates will be something like April 15-22ish. Block it out! Be fun to get a crew out there and other locales too.
