Bing has a handy website tool to look up varieties of birds. Just add your image and Bing will attempt to local similar images. This generally has links to websites with the type of bird. This is what I typically do when trying to find out the name of a bird. https://www.bing.com/visualsearchThanks, ISv. I can't tell enough of a difference in looking online, but my Richmond Kentucky location is in the range of the Carolina variety (but not that far from the other's range) so I'm just making that assumption.
Now, if you see my "mourning dove" photos, I'd be interested to hear if that name is correct. I'm just guessing based on a quick scan of the internet and I'd rather not be using an incorrect name.

Well done! It’s a great hobby and you really have taken to it.Thanks, AlanF. I'm pretty new to birding. Covid hunkering down has caused me to switch gears away from travel & flower photos towards my new kitten/cat and bird photos above our feeder.
He certainly is! We don’t have these beautiful birds in the UK.Today this wood duck was resting in shallow water under the afternoon sun. Shadows may have ruined the picture but he is definitely a beauty!

Not much activity yesterday, and exposure was a hassle thanks to the sun constantly ducking in and out behind clouds. A little more variety in the targets this outing, though...

Thanks! Among ducks, wood duck and Harlequins are the most colorful ones. I am lucky that both show up in Calgary for mating and raising the young.Beautiful bird. Very nice picture.
Thanks AlanHe certainly is! We don’t have these beautiful birds in the UK.
