Thanks for sharing, lion rock.

You might research at Cornell Uni, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, www.birds.cornell.edu. They are expert in the field. If you can't identify through searching for it yourself, e-mail them a photo. I got an answer from them one time.

Thanks Riley. I can't be sure but Alder seems close. It's the colour of the wing bars that seems off and the tail shape but others don't fit too good either.

Jack Douglas said:Two of, I think, the same species but I'm not certain of the ID. I'd say Alder flycatcher but the tail isn't V'ed. ?? on others based on colour on wings.

Jack Douglas said:ISV those are seriously nice. I have shot mostly birds in my area just east Edmonton (it's called the Beaver Hills), except for a few times shooting in BC. If you haven't noticed there is a link at the bottom of my posting to National Geographic where I've posted most of my better shots of my Canadian birds.

Thanks Jack!
Concerning your advise: I did this time ago!
The problem is that as an originally European I don't know much about the North American birds. Time to learn something newand the best first steps are off course some books.

Sadly, I knew more when I was 12 years old. Life got way too busy for too many years.

Ha,ha! Same here Jack! At that age (means ~50 years ago) I did write a homework: "I want to be an Ornithologist". And I already knew some of the local birds by scientific names. Different times and different priorities but I use to like what I like.

ISv said:And here is my very trivial contribution - I didn't succeed to take a photo of something new (despite I did spend ~ few ours chasing the Red Avadavat - devilish tiny birds, but rather beautiful even in non-breading plumage as they are now)
On the second photo the Red-billed Leiothrix has to much back-wind (and light...) and on the third I see something suspicious under the bird (scared from me?! ;D)
