Still No Egrets

GREAPER

I did however see some other birds today.

The bird migration continues.

Now according to my book Greater Scaups do not live in Northwest Ohio, It says that they are a coatstal Bird. But the photo in the book is a spitting image of this duck.



So if I have the ID wrong, someone help me out with a correction.

I shot this shot of a Killdeer.

Now this looked like an American Coot to me, but I am not sure because of the white ring around its eye. So if its something else, let me know.

A birder out in the marsh Idenetified this guy as a fox sparrow, but it also doesn't look like the picture in my book.


I might need a new book?





Now this guy is DEFINATELY a Yellow Rumped Warbler.







and just sharring a couple more that I liked.





Thanks for looking

I have the DK book Birds of North AMerica and it sure looks like a Greater Scaup to me. The Lesser Scaup looks extremely similiar and is more populous to your area but I still think its a Greater. Thnxs for sharing

Hey Brian,

Outstanding shots as usual. Your Greater Scaup looks like a Lesser Scaup to me (talk about being picky). The Coot is actualy a Pied-Billed Grebe. The Coot's bill is all whiite and its body is black.

Your perching birds are great, Greaper.

The Nat Audubon Soc Field Guide to NA Birds does not list Ohio as a typical place to find a Fox Sparrow.and the picture on p 419 shows a white breast with reddish patches. But I really could not find any other better picture there or in the Reader's Digest Book of NA Birds.

I have been told that it's a Carolina Wren.
