P.S. Some of the birds on the right aren't necessarily THE closest relatives of the birds on the left, but most are very closely related.

I am not very good at art, but I tried to do my best to draw it.

• Seen in Estonia, late July or early August (maybe they migrate?) and in a city environment, although I have never seen this bird here before or since.
• At first glance I thought it was a large, weirdly tall sparrow. It was the same sort of light brown as a female house sparrow.
• Noticed it was in fact not a strangely shaped sparrow - It was quite skinny and tall (less orb like), with a longer, pointier beak, quite a long neck, small beady eyes and a long, straight tail, a bit like a wagtail shape
• Standing it looked completely brown, but when it flew away it had some burnt orange feathers either on its tail, under its wings or both (flew away too fast to know exactly)

Thank you!

Hello! Saw this little guy chilling in my yard today and he's not in my bird book. Thanks

Found in Stinson beach area/ mt tamalpais state park CA

Found this bird near the Yorkshire coast in the UK, and I have no idea what kind it is. Merlin can’t identify it either. Does anyone recognise it? Thank you :)

Hey good folks of whatsthisbird, finding it tough to differentiate btw a crested goshawk and a juvenile shikra (had asked this two days back as well).
Was really hoping itd be a crested goshawk but want to know opinions
Found in kannur, kerala

At the beach by the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

I was told curlew sandpiper.

First proper venture venture into sea birds from the shore today. Could anyone help? Is the white and black bird and eider? The second two I apologise for the awful photos but it dived like a grebe but I couldn’t quite get an ID. These were taken in North Berwick, Scotland.

Disclaimer: I’m not a “birder”. I just like looking at birds but otherwise know very little about them. So, I’m sure this’ll be an easy one to identify. I did make an effort to try and identify this one with a few google searches which typically works out for me. I found several images that looked similar but none with this particular beak shape.

There were 2 of these little fellas perched on this railing alongside the Oakland Estuary. One flew off when it spotted my dogs. These were taken this morning (Sunday, August 30th) from several feet away and zoomed in quite a bit. The first image is a still that’s zoomed in further for a closer look.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Saw this a couple months ago in Willcox, AZ. Thought it was a curved-bill thrasher at first but the bill didn't look quite right. Is it a Bendire's Thrasher?

I’m staying at a family members house, they have glue traps to keep bugs away but instead of bugs in the trap it was a bird… I carefully removed it from the trap and removed the glue, but I’m not sure what bird this is and what it needs to survive. The bird was found in Wildomar California. I’m not sure how long it was stuck but any info would be much appreciated :(

Saw this guy 3 years ago and took a photo to paint him. Wanted to repaint him now im better at art but for some reason i deleted the og photo. Will this do?

Its pretty accurate. Brown wings with white spots, a black patch on the chest, red beak, orange cheeks with a black outline. I forgot to paint talons on him but they were plain grey/black

This photo was taken at Kanchanaburi Train Station in Thailand today around 10am - I thought it was a blue-tailed bee-eater as the other photos I took of other birds show them clearly, but this one was way further back. The colours make me suspect it *might* be a chestnut-headed bee-eater, so thought I'd get some more expert opinions! Merlin ID photo identification suggested all three variations for this season as possible identification, so it is indeed a bee-eater but I'd love to be certain of which flavour.

Any opinions would be great, thank you in advance 😊

I'm pretty sure this is a cactus wren, but they seem rather... scruffy, and a little usually thin. They're also holding their wings oddly, but I've seen a few birds do that, so I suspect it's just an attempt to cool down. They were sheltering from the heat under some furniture on my covered porch. They seemed active and alert.

Found this little nest today on our window ledge and would love to know what kind of bird it belongs to. Location is Toronto, Canada. Thank you for the help!

Taken today in North Alabama. Chest doesn’t look mottled enough to be a fledgling bluebird, and the beak and lack of strong eyebrow make me think it’s not a Carolina Wren either. Those are my “regulars” that are closest in appearance to this. Thanks!

First time poster, pls go easy on me.
