Show your Bird Portraits

Thanks kodakrome!
These little guys are cute in that their tails are raised when they sing their songs. Very cute, too, with their "eye brows."

Jack,
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.

Really not a problem, but I wonder if others encountered this.

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 because of you I'm on my way to order a book about the Canadian birds! Sorry, this is another one from you that I have to pass - I have practically no knowledge about your birds (except the shore birds!)... On other hand it would be interesting to see what you have there (and I have some friends in Canada who are asking me to visit them, so some more info about the birds there is must!).
Very nice photos BTW and with the difficulty of the ID - very interesting!

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)
