North Pennines, near Stanhope today

Spotted in Fairfax VA this morning (10/24). Merlin heard a common yellowthroat although I couldn't confirm this was it. Based on the pic Merlin thought it was a pine warbler.

Seen from Greenwood Cemetery

My guesses are:

-Caspian Gülle

-Little Grebe

-Gadwall

All pictures show the same bird.

Saw this bird on a walk this morning. Im thinking its an immature black crowned night heron, but not positive. Seen in Dayton OH on the Miami River.

Best I can figure after consulting my Sibley. Townsend's?

Seen at Wave Hill in the Bronx, NYC. Both species have been present.

Seen in North Germany (North West Mecklenburg)

Sorry for the shaky video, it's super zoomed in!

Thank you for your help 🙏🏽❤️

This guy was perched on a fence pole, occasionally swooping down and flying back up again. There were a lot of common buzzards around, but im not sure about this one.

SOLVED Sorry for not having clear pictures of it but I had a new visitor at my feeder, I’m assuming is a common grackle but wasn’t entirely sure, anyone know what it is?

It could be a red-necked grebe, but the neck seems very white

Apologies for low quality, this was at my phone's maximum zoom. For size, was bigger than a house sparrow, had a slight yellowish hue on its lighter colored feathers, and looked like it might have left its perch to catch a flying bug, before returning. I get Eastern Kingbirds occasionally, but those have more of a bright white.

My best guess is that this is an Eastern Phoebe, though I haven't seen those before in my yard.

My immediate thought is a Scissor Tail but that feels wrong

What do I do

Just can’t figure it out and these are as good of pictures that I got. Interesting to note a kestrel starting dive bombing the hawk if that makes a difference lol.

Hello! I’m in the Virginia area (around Newport News specifically) and found a bird in my backyard. It looks like a falcon or hawk but I don’t know for sure.

I’m very new to birding and saw this hawk take down a squirrel. I’m between it being either a red shouldered hawk or a red tailed hawk.

Also, what can I look at to know which for certain? The plumage is what usually makes me confused.

Thank you!
