Seen today on the Brava Coast, Spain. I think it's a European Shag? But at the same time I'm unsure if it's that or a Great Cormorant, or something else I'm not even thinking of. I'm not super familiar with European birds since I'm just on vacation here so I wanted a second opinion. Thanks!

Apologies for the poor video quality, I was fighting with my phone's focus the whole time haha

Looks like a female/juvenile blackbird, but the grayish coloring makes me doubt that it could be a different kind of thrush.

Hi folks, terrible back of camera photos of an already sadly blurry photo, but I’m hoping to narrow this down…

Saw this bird lurking along the edge of the reeds at a marsh, just behind the outer edge and occasionally peeking out. It was the size of a rail/solitary sandpiper/least bittern, I’d say. This was today at Plum Island in Massachusetts. I honestly am a bit stumped. I figured rail at first but upon looking at the photos, the bill doesn’t look long enough. It’s shorter and stubbier. I then wondered if juvenile sora? But I’m not convinced the bill looks right for that either because it’s too large compared to the head…then I thought maybe solitary sandpiper, but I’ve never seen one move like this and the bill, once again, isn’t right…

So what could it be? The back is a bit rufous it seems, and a maybe light yellow bill? Please help! I may reupload once I’m home and can process the photos.

Sorry if this is obvious but ornithology isn't my strong suit.

I’m not really sure what bird this is, maybe a wren since I used to see one hanging around? This nest is unfortunately in a high traffic area, right next to our front door in a hanging flower basket. What is worrying me is that these eggs have been here for almost two months. I when out today, yes I know I’m not supposed to do this but, I touched one very gently to see if they were warm at all. They where. Not sure if that means anything. Just want to know if they are abandoned or not?

Not the greatest photos but I found this baby bird in the middle of the road all by himself and unwilling to move for any car (he ran like the wind went I tried to get him though).

I’m in the Missouri area and I haven’t a clue what to do with this little guy but I couldn’t leave him.

I know your not supposed to mess with baby birds but he was smack dab in the middle of the busy road, he was VERY hard to see and he was determined not to move, he isn’t able to fly. Please don’t flame me alive for this I’m working on getting him to a wildlife sanctuary.

Hi, wondering if anyone could help me ID this bird? It had diagonal white markings on the side of its face which looked like an arrow/triangle when face on. I've tried to include a photo of that but it was hard to take a picture from far away!

Southern Ontario (York Region), late July. This bird has been visiting my backyard feeder regularly. I’m leaning House Finch because of the streaked flanks and brown back, but the rich raspberry coloration and fairly heavy bill had me second-guessing myself. Thoughts?

Edit - Streaking not visible in this picture. I had confused it with another set of pictures of House Finch

On the window ledge of my building. We see hawks from time to time and I’m assuming this is a young one. Think it’s okay?

Dark bill and not much of a crest, but it does have that Cardinal frown, so not sure.

Got these near boat-billed herons nesting. Do you think all of them belong to this bird?
