Thanks, Bernie, Aullori & Monarch!

Aullori, although most House Finches have red(ish), some are much more yellow, reportedly due to their diet.

So many amazing photos Adam! I love the baby duck photos! So many birds on that list would have been lifers for me! Ugg, I need to travel out west one of these days!

I love your finch photo! You seem to capture colors that I’ve never seen on these guys – not even with binoculars beautiful! I also love that blackbird shots – tho Sibley’s guide has great drawings there’s nothing like seeing a beautiful photo to etch in my memory for id’ing later. Beautiful shots – as usual!

Thanks, Chuq, Montucky, & Winterwoman!

You’re right, Chuq, I keep looking for the BW Teal, but have yet to see them. I keep my eyes open, though, as they’d be a lifer for me. One of these days….

I really don’t know my ducks at all. But you sure captured some very nice shots!

You seem to be missing seeing the blue-winged teal. There are a couple that hang out on the long island on the south side.

I’m not positive about that duckling, but given who’s been nesting, the most likely ducks to have kids are the mallards, northern pintails, and probably the cinnamon teals. With the black beak, maybe it’s a teal.
