RE: [nysbirds-l] Question about hybridization between Seaside Sparrow and Saltmarsh Sparrow.

I’m not seeing it, Juan. Agree with Angus. In your photo, the breast is over-exposed, making it appear much lighter than it might otherwise. All other elements of the bird’s plumage seem consistent with a fresh spring Seaside Sparrow. The beak size and shape is all Seaside, too. Jim

RE: [nysbirds-l] Interesting bluebird from May 9, Derby Hill

To my eye, the plumage has too much 'warmth' in the color to be a Mountain. More importantly, however, the images showing the bird with open wings do not indicate the longer primaries that a Mountain Bluebird would have. I think this is just a particularly pale Eastern female. Perhaps a first sum

RE: [nysbirds-l] Hawk ID?

Yes. Imm. Red-shouldered. Nice photo. All the classic field marks are visible in the photo - even the pale translucent windows near the tips of the primaries, as well as the streaking on the upper breast ( which a red-tail would never have), lack of dark patagial bar, and the pattern of barr
