A helpful bird link. use to identify birds of the PNW

15 years ago

I've noticed a few "what kind of bird is this" threads lately. Here's a very helpful link to identify that bird in your back yard. Most have pictures and sound files to help with identification. Lots of info here:

Thanks DoubleJ, I posted one of the inquiries about what turned out to be brown creeper and this website is perfect to check out the other birds that frequent my place. Most appreciated, TC

No problem. I just noticed spotted toehees about 2 months ago. My 4 year old likes "talking" to them. I had to find a site that had the sound they make to figure out what they were. That's how I stumbled across this one.

BTW, here's a clickable version. I messed up and didn't put it in the first post

Help in Identifying Pair of Birds

This past weekend my son and his wife came down. As I was showing them around in the garden and orchard, we got fussed at by the killdeer pair. We must have gotten near their nest. One was close to us yelling, and the other one was over a bit doing the wing thing. We had just seen the one who was fussing and as I was explaining to them about the wing thing, my son said look, and the other one was doing the wing thing. It was very interesting to say the least, and impressed my son and his wife!

Cookie, is is a Gray Catbird. They are such cool little birds! I bet they would like you more if you gave them some of the food they like. They LOVE suet..especially peanutbutter suet dough, jelly and oranges. Normally each year we have them coming up to our feeders on our deck but not this year. I miss them! Donna

Hey everyone I was just wondering if you could spare a minute to fill out a quick survey on bird watching. IÃ¢ÂÂm currently studying IT at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia and at the moment weÃ¢ÂÂre looking at bird watching as a part of design in context. Would really appreciate all the help I could get, thanks. Here is a link that might be useful: Survey

I checked your MyPage, but didn't find your location. The only lapwing that frequents the US is the Northern Lapwing, but the bird in your photo more closely resembles a Southern Lapwing, from S. America

All I really need is common backyard birds. I've got a starling jay, some finches, some chickidees, etc. I think at least.
