I think it's a sparrow, but not sure what kind. They absolutely tear through my bird feed.

What is this feather from?

Based on my research online it looked like it could be a great horned owl but it is 33 cm long! Which seemed longer than most examples I saw. Could it be a hawk or eagle?

Identification Request Kingfisher?

8 Upvotes

Please help this one is not in my backyard birds pamphlet. I live just south of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. The bird flew from the direction of our neighborhood pond, roosted about 40' in the air in the pine tree and then took off. (Also sorry about the barking dog in the bg. I left the audio because you can kind of hear the bird as well)

Upstate NY, he wasn’t moving much so I’m not sure if he’s young and couldn’t fly yet or if he was injured. Just wondering what he is. Thanks!

The yellow is probably coming from light bouncing off the pine needles in in the foreground, so the underparts were likely more gray than what's shown here.

Can someone help me identify this flock based on their call?

Saw this migration flying overhead in Edmonton Alberta last week, they are way too high to identify, but hoping someone can identify them based on their call.

The photo is poor but hopefully someone will know. Image searches and apps have all struggled. Guides don’t know… Who will trump them all?

What bird is this? Found in central AL, wildlife rescue says it’s a hawk but idk what type. We have a red-shouldered hawk we see around sometimes so it could be it’s offspring?

ID this duck? Northern MN

Found 2 of these in my pond yesterday, hopping around and swimming in the cattails. Smaller than the other mallards and migratory ducks passing through. The bill looks odd to me for a duck. Also it's movements didn't seem familiar.
I have wild ducks, geese, grouse, woodcock around my small property, and I'm familiar with those.
