Re: [cayugabirds-l] Rose-breasted Grosbeak

I can personally vouch for the ease with which one can (mis)identify the
one female for the other.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Merlin

2015-07-15 Thread Randolph Ross 
By way of an unfortunate window incident, I can report that a female or
immature Yellow Warbler can appear from above to have distinct outer yellow
tail feathers. (We have not had them in the yard before; it appeared to
recover, and disappeared a while later, after being placed out of harm's
way in a Norway spruce.)

 I take it that the Merlin app does not work on an iPad.  Am I right?
 I downloaded it to ID a bird I just got a glimpse of.  I had a Goldfinch
 sized bird that I only saw from the back.  It was distinctive because it's
 outer tail feathers were yellow like a Junco's are white.  Any idea as to
 what it might be ?  Is it a Goldfinch?

 For those talking about the absence of Hummingbirds, my Hummers have been
 here on and off all day.  I only saw the males today.
