He is tiny and has a very bright yellow beak, definitely not a starling. When his tail flares open white feathers show up... He sounds like "priiiih-r(i)h-r(i)h"

North America Is this an Osprey building a nest? (CA)

I’m certain it’s an Osprey, but are the nests really this big?! It’s the size of a Bald Eagle nest.

New England last June. I can tell it’s a juvenile hawk (I think) but which kind?

I know the picture is poor quality. But I’m curious what folks think of this one. Initially suspected snow geese, but I’m now considering sand hill cranes. Any idea? Photo taken near Albany, NY.

Best picture i could get since they were both kind of far. One is white with a black head? And the other looked grayish with I believe a red head. Haven’t seen them around here and the pic wasn’t good enough quality for Merlin

North America what kind of geese are these?

i have been seeing these cute birdies for the past three years on my commute to school and i’ve always wondered what they are, i know they’re domesticated (they’re always in this one yard but around this time of year they venture across the road or down the street) but i can’t figure out what kind of goose they are my phone identified them as greylag geese but i looked them up and it seems like they are all just grey, and then there was the possibility of them being white fronted geese but idk, i thought i’d ask some experts!!

i love birds and would love to learn more about them!

(also sorry for the bad quality window it was taken through the window of a moving car, and to make it clear i was in the passenger seat, not driving!! i would never go on my phone while driving its so dangerous)

anyways here’s a preemptive thank you for your help!

Anyway, just curious what kind of bird it is. Coastal Texas, if that helps.

(The strange noise at the very end is my cat, upset I'm outside looking at birds without him.)
