Morneau132 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I think that redpole is actually a fence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm guessing #3 is a Chipping Sparrow. Cute little guy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbymalone Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 The first one is definitely an great egret. I have no idea about the third.The second is a swan, for sure. But I don't know which one. I thought the only way to tell swans apart was the bill color and bands on the face. Borealhunter, how can you tell that is a Tundra?

ShawnZ Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Boreal Hunter is definately correct about the sparrow id. On the swans, I would want to know what month the image was taken. The other two images seem to indicate summer or at least late spring images from (this year?). If the swan image was from late spring/summer, I would think that the diffault id would be trumpeter swan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCrowRiverFisherman Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 the swans were heading north in December, kind of didn't need to really know the id right away. It's nice to know I saw a kind of sparrow I have never recognized before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishface Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Being there is only two I'd guess trumpeters.Tundras seen in MN are always migrating and usually in big flocks.Did they look huge?Seems the tundras are ALWAYS, well mostly always very noisy in flight too.BUT,Ya just never know.

vern Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'd say trumpeters also. There are hundreds of them that spend all winter around Monticello area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
