May Point Pelee Birds :)

[katrae]

Hi All,

I was going through my photos from my recent (May 8th) visit to Point Pelee and was wondering if I could get some help with some id's.  

I labelled this one as a Chipping Sparrow, but I'm not convinced on my IDing of most sparrows


This one was quite small in size leading me to think it's a Golden-crowned Kinglet?


Possible Female Orchard Oriole?


Some type of Vireo?


Another Vireo?


Female Duck - Possibly a Mallard, but the colors & pattern don't seem to match to what I'm used to seeing


Some type of hawk (unless it's flashing a red tail, I can't tell most hawks apart)


Another hawk


Maybe a flycatcher?


Warbler? Vireo?  I can't seem to find anything matching in my bird books....


Fairly small, 1 white wing bar, wings olive shaded


Thanks everyone!

#10 Nashville warbler

I'm not overly surprised there are repeats - I have a knack for that  

Thanks for the help with the ID's SS - much appreciated and a few firsts:  Warbling,Black Duck, Nashville & Ruby-crowned.  Very exciting day for me!

Sorry.... I just came across another one

A Wood Thrush maybe?


These ones I'm sure of

Magnolia Warbler


Mourning Warbler


Prothonotary Warbler


Canada Warbler (not a great shot, but he was a lifer)


Black-billed Cuckoo (another bad shot, but another lifer)


Gotta love Point Pelee during Spring Migration!

3. I think you are right with Orchard Oriole
7. Northern Harrier female
8. Broad-winged Hawk

And the last one is an Ovenbird.

Sweet!  2 more lifers (Ovenbird & Broad-winged).  Point Pelee is amazing!

Thanks Thomas!!

Maybe I should have gone through all the photos at once before posting  

Dunlin maybe??


I promise - last post!

Dunlin would have a black belly at this time of year, I think it's a Semipalmated Sandpiper.
