Name that Bird?

[Raymond J Barlow]

I found a lot of different species today, @ Colonel Sam Smith Park in the big smoke we call Toronto. Anyone want to try to name them all?? I can't.

Wow....what an awesome series Sir Raymond. Brilliant shooting. I have no idea what half these birds are , but that second one looked like me a few weeks ago, when I had my possessed eye.

#1 oldsquaw hen

#3 AMERICAN ROBIN
#4 BROWN HEADED COWBIRD(MALE)
#5 MOURNING DOVE
#6 (MAYBE) GOLD FINCH (MALE IN MOLT)
#9 GRAY JAY (WHISKEY JACK)
#10 oldsquaw again
I HAVE SEEN #8 many times in winter roamin the woods in a large social group of chickadees, nuthatch, downy woodpeckers and titmice. i can't say positively what it is and will be interested if somebody else knows it's name.

3 is a Robin
5 is a Morning Dove
9 is a Cat Bird (I think)

 

[Raymond J Barlow]

I just edited the first and last shot, as I feel they were over-killed with blue.. so let me know is this helped.

 

[Raymond J Barlow]

Is 9 a Northern Mockingbird?

 

[Calliope]

I don't know what anyone of them are... (I have a hard time keeping my kids' name straight much less any other name :er: ) but I think all of these shots are breathtaking!

 

[Antarctican]

Raymond, that's another spectacular series. I'm gonna stick a GPS on you to figure out where you get these great shots. (Will first have to figure out where to put it, as apparently the pants are not a sure bet.)

 

[JTHphoto]

wow, incredible shots... love em all... :thumbup:

ps i don't do bird names... but that second one looks like he could use some visine...

 

[Raymond J Barlow]

lol you guys are too funny.

 

[Canoncan]

Hey Ray definitely a Mocking bird. 7 is a Horned Grebe. 8 looks like a Kinglet. Besides they all look great. The Cowbird and the Longtailed, Old Squaw has become not politically correct. 6 is a molting Goldfinch.

 

[Raymond J Barlow]

Thanks Peter, I knew you would be a help here!

 

[Raymond J Barlow]

so here is the final tally

1 Female Longtail Duck
2 Female Horned Grebe
3 Robin
4 Male Cow Bird
5 Morning Dove
6 American Goldfinch
7 Male Horned Grebe
8 Golden Crowned Kinglet
9 Northern Mockingbird
10 Female Longtail Duck

Thanks for everyones help!
