Little birdie

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

This little bird hit my front door on Thursday.  I picked this little one up and let the stun of hitting the window go away.   After a few minutes the little bird was able fly away.

Cute little bird

Anyone know what kind of bird this is?  This little bird has been hanging on my deck and lets me get really close to this little cutie.

Hello Birdie!

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin
Last week my friend Catherine and her family gave me a stick-on bird feeder for my window, along with a bag of wild bird food. Janet installed it last Saturday, May 3rd. I was told that birds will discover the seed banquet in a few days to a week. I can't wait to say "Hello Birdie!"

So when will I see the first bird in my new bird feeder? The closest comment to the actual bird observation will be a rubber duck, signed by Mr. 'RD' Paul Morrison.

Unidentified Bird Visitor

unidentified bird visitor

This little bird flew into the gallery and couldn’t find his way back out.  At first I thought it was a vireo, but now I’m not sure.  His underside was paler yellow than a gold finch, and above was olive green.  Does anyone know what he is?  I did eventually catch him, but then he ended up in Diana’s Gallery.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The woman I may or may not be related to through marriage said this bird was a blue jay which I’m 99% sure is wrong.

Wjo knows what kind of bird these are?

The peregrine falcon is visiting again

On the roof of St. Ann's Church, looking for a snack, I suppose...
On the steeple of St. Ann's, pretending to be a gargoyle
It blew it's "gargoyle" cover when it moved briefly...

 

Peregrine Falcon visitor at St. Ann’s Church

Posted on by Matthew Green
This visitor showed up at the church the other day. I think she was looking for a smallish seagull for dinner. I don't think she came to see the architecture, or to get the schedule for Holy Week...

Who is up for a little bird ID game?

Comments about a Kingfisher

Posted on by paultmorrison

Just a GMG notification: If you do not read the comments at GMG you are really missing out. The photo of a bird needing identification received twelve comments below. Some of them more than just a little amusing. When you read a post here at GMG make sure to click the comments and say a few words. Or just click it to read the comments. You won’t be disappointed.

[edit] I just added some more new comments. Besides these comments Joey has received 15 emails. Those are people who are obviously oblivious of the ability to comment or are too shy. Don’t be shy, spread the info, make a joke. Is my post about comments dumb? Make a comment in the comments.

  1. That is a great looking bird, not sure what it is…

  2. John R Reilly says:

    It is a Belted Kingfisher !

  3. It’s either a ruby throated, split tail, double breasted mattress thrasher or one of the Belted Kingfishers.

  4. Patty Ball says:

    Yup, a Kingfisher it is!

  5. Nice shot Joe. It’s a Kingfisher, they like to look down on their prey from up high, like at the top of pilings and flagpoles.

  6. Hey Joe..it is a female Belted Kingfisher. Unlike most species of birds, the female is more brightly colored, with the rufous color on her flanks and belly. Males completely lack rufous feathers. Great capture!

  7. Jenna says:

    Yep, Kingfisher. There was a post on GMG just the other day about them! They hang out here on the Annisquam off Wheeler Point a lot, too.

  8. David Teele says:

    it is a belted kingfisher who is either: very cold or having a bad hair day or just lost an argument with a Van de Graaff generator

  9. whaletale says:

    It is indeed a Kingfisher. reat photo but be careful, the NOAA will want him removed from the area without a proper catch share permit…………………

  10. Kristen Callahan says:

    It’s a female belted kingfisher. She is one of the few females to have the extra stripe on the abdomen. A super photo. They are quick of wing and seldom shot at this quality of photo. Thanks for making a great morning!

  11. Feather’d Friend says:

    It’s a DON Kingfisher!

  12. Becky Bernie says:

    definitely a belted kingfisher

    1. People who don’t read the comments in GMG sure are missing out.

      • Joey C says:

        PAUL, there has been about 15 emails to the GMG email address about the bird. I wonder if those people realize that there is a comment link below the post or if there is some other reason they email me directly instead of leaving a comment.

    2. Kim H-P says:

      Belted Kingfisher for sure. Looks like an immature male according to the Cornell folks-see website-great shot!

Egret??

Posted on by Mike Lindberg


Just shot this near the marsh at my house. Can anyone tell me what kind of bird this is? I think it’s an Egret but when I googled “Egret” they don’t look like this.
Thanks to Tina for the heads up!!
