can anyone ID this bird for me

18 years ago

OK I have this cute little bird hanging out here now, but cant seem to find what it is.

Thought you experts might know what it is and what I can feed it to keep it around, if it is a good bird to have

The pics arent the best, it was raining and cloudy

Looks to be either a Eastern Phoebe or a Eastern Pewee, cannot tell for sure. We have Phoebe's around here, fun birds to watch. They pose no threat to Blues.

I think it's a phoebe too. Here is a picture that is a little clearer.

Thanks bob414 I don't think so, but maybe...The lighter pink flowers came out that color, they have a tan fuzzy middle, while the deeper color clem has a purple tipped middle..can you see that there are two different types of leaves? I never noticed that until I saw this picture posted, it is almost dark now but I will be out there in the morning. Thanks, I am new to all this and really glad I found this board.

Oh! Thanks, I've shown these to several people and everyone, like myself, has been stumped. I know nothing about falconry and training raptors so idk if it's normal that I didn't see anyone anywhere near when I saw this "hawk". No one around except for the other bird that's in a few of the photos, and a few smaller birds that looked to be mobbing either this bird or the other large bird, idk, I Wonder if this bird might have been lost?? Thanks again

Hi Carol23_gw and Floral_uk . Thanks for taking the time to id my plant . With both suggestions I did a google search and at first I thought neither were the correct answer . Ulmaria seemed way too tall to fit the plant I grow here and Palmata seemed the bloom was pink and mine is not. However , upon further research I believe Floral_uk that you are correct . It is a palmata but Palmata ' Elegans' which is a white bloom. YAY ! I finally have an id on this plant. I have been growing for some 6 or 7 years. Meadowsweet ........who kniew ?

Looks like a Phoebe to me. We also call them flycatchers. A pair built a nest under the roof of my porch on a little ledge. They are quite animated and a lot of fun to watch.

Another clue is to watch how they fly up from their perch to catch an insect in midair, then return to the same perch. I've seen bluebirds do that occasionally too.
