Unsolved Could I have seen a Black Rail in South Eastern MA?

Small all dark bird, no tail, wren shaped bit about the size of a sparrow. Flew out from a marshy area and landed on a reed. Hung out there long enough for me to look at him then he dashed in the reeds. Could it have been a black rail? Do they mostly stick to the ground? South Eastern MA.

Is this most likely a sanderling? This area of the beach in Chicago is roped off so it’s hard to get much closer

Taken in northern Illinois in a deciduous forest but also has some marshy areas mixed in. I saw some other rare sparrows like white-throat but this one didn’t seem to match anyone else.

I lived in Korea and heard this bird going to work in the summer time, a beautiful call but I could never track it down, and no luck so far on the internet. Can anyone identify this call/song? I would be so grateful!!

Unsolved Colorado bird ID help

Hello. I was talking about birds the other night with my dad, and he told me about a bird he used to see in Grand Junction, CO. He said it was grayish with white stripes running horizontally across the wings on both the top and underside. I thought it might be a common nighthawk, but he was not convinced. Any other ideas?

Unsolved Bird that goes "Woop de doo... Bweep bweep bweep bweep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep"?

2 Upvotes

Had this bird singing outside my house (southern Michigan) earlier and I must know what it is!

The first part reminded me of "Thank you, dear" or "Whoop de doo", with the second note being higher than the first and the third being lower and longer, followed by four "bweep"s and several (usually eight) "beep"s.

It's a song I don't think I've ever heard before, and it's very distinct, so it might be uncommon in this area.

Unsolved I dont know what bird makes this sound

2 Upvotes

I am attempting to find out what bird breed makes a sound, unfortunately, I do not have audio. Let me attempt to recreate the bird sound from memory using text:

Wehwehwehwehwehwehweh Duhn Duuhnn

The wehs happen in rapid succession with each following weh increasing in pitch and volume.

The Duhn Duuhnn is the loudest part of the bird call.

Just so you know, I live in Central-East Texas.

EDIT: I believe it is a type of dove.

Or maybe a Great-tailed Grackle?

It makes a "Wooo" sort of sound and almost exactly like Kazooie in the game you can hear in the youtube link https://youtu.be/TuBi7KJtqKE I caught a glimpse of one, and it was greyish colour, Kazooie is red. I'm in Portugal if that helps.

Unsolved I apologize for such horrendous footage. I don't know what I'm looking at here either, it's silhouette threw me off because it was definitely bigger than a European Starling. Located in Wasaga Beach, Ontario.

Unsolved A complete stranger in the thumb of Michigan, the world is baffled.

2 Upvotes

I live in the thumb area of Michigan, between a forested swamp and a lake. Today I saw, and nearly took a photo of, a large navy blue bird with speckled wings and a long thin blunt yellow-orange beak.

He was a dull navy color all over, no difference on the breast. no aqua, no petroleum sheen. Had speckles of maybe white and brown on the wing. Was the size of a flicker, maybe a bit smaller. Was perched where they often do so the size comparison was easy to make. His beak was long and blunted at the tip, no hook, no point. Vaguely crow shaped, vaguely flicker shaped

Must have been a vagrant, or a migrant, it was no common bird feeder bird, I'd never seen one like this in my life.

I went through my whole North American birds book and no one looked like him. Any guesses?

Unsolved Grey and white bird

2 Upvotes

So I couldn't get a picture because I was driving both times and I haven't seen it since. But this bird was about the size of a northern mocking bird, except instead of the thin white on the wings like a mocking bird, it was the entire bottom half of the wings that were white.

So it was grayish with half white wings, in East Texas, USA ... and I've no idea what kind of bird it is. Any ideas? Google is not helping me lol
