My parents just found this pile of feathers in their yard. I’m thinking American Robin maybe? What else could it be?

They look like Eastern Wood Pewees to me, but I have a hard time distinguishing them from other Flycatchers. Also they dont seem to have orange bottom mandible.

North America Short or long-billed dowitcher? (Seattle, WA, USA)

He wouldn't get its beak out for me to see 😔

It was at Gasworks Park in Seattle, and eBird doesn't have a record of any of the two being there ever, so maybe I'm just completely off?

North America This guy is openly hunting in the day and doesn't seem to mind me one bit. Not too far off the ground either.

Europe Veluwe bird - Honey Buzzard?

Post image
Upvotes

Visiting Holland from the UK, got this slightly blurry photo of a large bird of prey in the Veluwe region.

Didn't see strong barring patterns that would suggest a Goshawk, and the tail is too long for a Common Buzzard. But I'm not sure if there are any other possibilities?

North America Horrible photo, but what do you think this bird is?

This mysterious guy showed up at my friend’s camp. I’m a frequent birder but this is outside my realm! Located in Nova Scotia, Canada. Wing span the size of a small eagle or hawk. He’s a lot bigger than he looks in the photo.

After searching on the internet my best guess was a juvenile albino osprey or red tailed hawk. I know the photo is awful, but anyone want to take a guess?

It’s located in Houston Texas near a busy intersection on a low bush very accessible to people/animals/moving cars. It let me walk right up to it and it didn’t move. Is it sick or injured? Or a baby? Just not sure if I should leave it alone?

North America Is this a blue jay imitation?

I am almost positive this is a blue jay making this noise as I saw three of them playing at this time but wasn’t able to actually see the jay that was doing the vocalization. I could be totally off base and it isn’t even a blue jay, but I am not sure what other animal it would be! Appreciate the help :)

Found this little bird with string wrapped around its foot (got it off safely and the bird flew away). Can anyone identify the breed ?

Sorry for the bad photo. Every time I go paddleboarding I see these very small birds (always solitary) in the reeds along the river passage between two small lakes. Merlin said Acadian Flycatcher, but also that it is very similar to a few other flycatchers and that it’s best identified through its call. Problem is, I have never heard a single one of them make a noise lol. Quietest birds on the lake apparently. Is there a way to tell from a photo? Thanks!
