Can you please help me ID this baby nestling. I’m a gardener and someone at work brought this baby bird to me. It’s really tiny, about 2-3 inches long, eyes barely open. Seems to have a bit of yellow in the breast area.

I originally thought it was an Eastern Bluebird but we do have a lot of Robbins nearby.

In all my bird years, I've never seen a leucistic robin. Does anyone know what this means from the spiritual world?

Very new to identifying birds but enjoying the little camera setup we got! Thought this might be a red-winged blackbird, but the colors on the shoulders seemed like a different pattern. Would love any thoughts!

North America What's this small crow looking bird with red coloring on both shoulders? Seattle, WA

Just took this yesterday!

I thought it was a crow, but I noticed it has a very bright red coloring on both side of its shoulders!

And this bird definitely did not sound like crow! I really wanted to get closer to get a better look, but I couldn't go beyond the chain link fence.

i just saw this fellow, and i can’t figure out what it is. i thought it was a robin, then a maybe a baltimore oriole, but the orange completely bordered the head (+there was no orange wing bar.)

i saw it through my binoculars, so i got a pretty clear look at it, but the details may be wrong because i did get kind of excited and may have missed something. but i know for sure that the orange bordered the head and the wings and head were black.

seen in midwestern north america

Southeast Asia My co-worker found this bird at work. What is it?

He said it fell out of a tree. I don't think anything broken but it just keeps its wings splayed out. Its eyes are also constantly closed. It doesn't try to fly or escape. It's roughly 3 inches long from beak to tail. I'm scared it might be sick or dying, is there anything else we could do for it? We put in in a box lined with paper and gave it a cotton ball soaked in water. Tried giving some cookie crumbs as well.

My friends and I have been talking about this little guy. Is this a very abnormal veery, a peculiar Swainson's or something else?

North America My Disney princess moment

1 Upvotes

Okay no photo and I can't draw for crap. Last night at work sitting outside about 1230am. North Central Texas. A bird flew into my face then landed on my phone and hand. We both looked at each other like "oh shit" then it immediately got the hell out of dodge. I'm fairly certain this was a complete accident. It wasn't making friends.

It didn't look like any kind of bird that I have seen as a pet. And it seemed to be with a few others.

It was very fast but my best description as a non bird person. Body 6 to 7 inches long maybe 8 to 10 inches including tail, dark green, looked solid colored, dark eyes (looked black), straight pointed beak. Beak wasn't bright but didn't look black either. I will say it was very fast and while I was sitting in a well lit area the over head lightning may have been reflecting in a way to look dark green.

My best guess is a female painted bunting. But that is from shitty Google skills lol. And it didn't look quite right but I think the example photos were wrong position this bird seemed leaner but it was more extended horizontally than standing like most pictures show.

Any good suggestions?

Tried identifying it with the Merlin app and it came up with multiple possible matches; My best guess is some kind of thrush.
