top one lookslike a redtail hawk looks like a young one with those white colors

2nd look like something in the swallow family(sp)?

3rd one is balistic jelly

4th one is a pretty cool looking bird, its in the family of a cardnial?


Bad part is I used to know all these birds in north america and japan, I wrote tons of book reports in jr high and highschool about birds.

Man I feel old when I cant remember what birds are what.

I am not sure about the one I called a redtail hawk, if I remember correctly there was another hawk that also had a red tail.


Keep them coming MT/.

#5 Is a loggerhead shrike, but close enough.

Oak-

#1 Phainopepla ?

#2 LBJ

#3 Harris Hawk

#4 As for the ducks, I will guess mallard x wigeon hybrid with the shovs.
 
Miller,

Yep, you're right on the shrike, it is a loggerhead.

On oaks pictures:

1. Phainopepla
2. ??? That one I'd definately have to look up. If I had to guess maybe a towhee of some sort?
3. Harris hawk
4. I agree with miller it looks like a widgeon mallard hybrid.
 
MtMillers first one is a

Horned Hawk
3 tweety birds
barbed fence song bird
yellow belly White wing
grey hungry barbed

Oaks are :

Red Eye Helmet
crooked neck fatty
powerline sniper
duck

Please let me know if I'm close ;)
 
I guess you're right about the shrike. Usually the black extends above the eye in Loggerheads, and I couldn't see the bill well. But I didn't take into account the fact that it's a juvenile.
 
Oak,

So what are the birds you listed?

Looks like its just you, me, and miller playing anyway.
 
1. Phainopepla

2. Abert's Towhee

3. Harris's Hawk

4. Mallard x Am. Black Duck hybrid.

All of these pics were taken in Tucson. Good call on the towhee. I could post another couple of quizzes, but doesn't look like there's many bird nerds out there. :rolleyes:

Oak
