A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Photographing wildlife is a hobby of mine, that I truly love. I hope you enjoy my efforts to capture the beauty of creation.
Alicelongmartin, you will have to play with the sight I am sending you, but you can find recent spottings of this owl here: http://ebird.org/ebird/map/snoowl1?neg=t...
I would suggest that this is indeed a Pine Grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator) as both Ava T-B and Liam have already suggested. Please ad the scientific name to your spotting by editing this post. Without the scientific name this bird will continue to be placed as an unidentified spotting. Thanks in advance for doing this.
Please add the scientific name to your spotting. At the present time this bird is classified as an unknown spotting because the scientific name was not used. Project Noah only uses the scientific name for ID purposes because the common name can be used for more then one species.
Thanks in advance.
Your bird is a Dark-eyed Junco. I am very certain of that!
I have provided you with a link to learn more about this little bird who often times is seen feeding on the ground rather then at a feeder.
Tiz, would you be so kind as to post the scientific name so this spotting can be removed from the unidentified list.

Like Ava T-B I highly suggest you add this to the mission she suggests.
I also highly recommend you add the scientific name to your spotting.
The scientific name for your rabbit is: Oryctolagus cuniculus
I would suggest that Sarah in the woods has made your id for you. This looks like Bufo americanus aka the American Toad.
I fully agree with Daniele Pralong that this is a Spicebush Swallowtail ( Papilio troilus)
That look! I have heard that comment a lot from this capture. It is one of my favorite Great Gray Owl captures I have made. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Lizzy and I am thrilled you enjoy my efforts to capture the beauty I see in my part of the world.
SteveWaldren I wish you success in your attempts to see this most amazing owl. I had never seen one in the wild until this past winter. I ended up actually seeing two different birds and was able to photograph both as well. Hope to see your captures of one of these here someday.
