Hello Jane! For future sound recordings, use BirdNET, a link below, which I find is generally trustworthy . I used it for this, but the crickets made it hard to ID. I believe there are apps that let you minimize or isolate background noise for better quality recordings. I hope you find this helpful. Happy Birding! Link: https://birdnet.cornell.edu/api/

I was taking a walk in my neighborhood a couple of months ago (May 7) and I saw a fascinating bird. I was not fast enough to get a picture, but from what I could tell, it had a warbler- like posture. I could see the bottom, which was mainly white, with what looked like a little bit of pastel yellow on the chest and just under the wings. The yellow was barely there, but you could see it. From the final glimpses I caught, the top was a light brown. Any ideas?

Hi. I like Zeiss, Swarovski Optiks, and Nikon binoculars. They all provide good, crisp, clear looks at birds. I hope this is helpful. Happy Birding!

Hi Gregory! I am not native to Rochester, but I did some research, and these spots could get you some great birds: 1. Hamlin Beach State Park 2.Braddock Bay area 3. Laselles Landing Park 4. Irondequoit Bat Outlet 5. High Acres Nature Area I do not know if all of these places are open during these troubled times, but I am happy to help you find places to enjoy birds. Happy Birding!

It looks as if it is a northern harrier. You can see the white on the rump, and the behavior is quite distinctive from other similar options. Nice ID!

Activity 1: I live in Maryland, and we have a very diverse habitat. In a commons by my house, there are 3 different habitats in small areas. It is a great birding area because of this diversity. First, there is a beautiful field bordering a forest, where we find robins, bluebirds, and sparrows. Then, as you get into the woods, we see warblers, thrushes, and woodpeckers. I recently spotted a black-throated green warbler on the edge of a field, which was a lifer for me. You then come out to a sizable creek, where warblers, sparrows, and shorebirds reside. There, I spotted an Osprey, which we have seen flying around our neighborhood. It’s amazing the birding hotspots you can find just mere blocks away from your home.

I’m in Northern Maryland, and there are so many birds I love! Our neighborhood has a secret trail in a forest that birds love. I’ve seen warblers, a kinglet, and an oriole in this spot. In my backyard, there is the occasional bluebird, a regular pair of Carolina chickadees, catbirds, goldfinches, and more. I recently caught a picture of this molting goldfinch On my feeder, and it was one of my favorites of the year
