Winged Wednesday 1/14/2021

[Eric Gofreed]

For today's Winged Wednesday I'll continue with warblers photographed in my home state of Arizona.

The Rufous capped warbler is a most difficult warbler to find. This guy was photographed in Florida Canyon, Coronado National Forest, South of Tucson.

Olive Warbler Despite it's name it isn't genetically a warbler. It is the only the only bird in its own family, Peucedramide. Not an easy species to find in his pine mountain habitat.

Yellow-throated Warbler is a rare migrant. It breeds in pine forests, cypress swamps, and woodlands near streams east of the Mississippi River. This guy lost his way a spent January, 2020 at Bubbling Ponds near Sedona, Arizona

Wonderful images

What a great collection of warblers. They are all different than ones I see in Saskatchewan. Here are some shots of warblers from my area.

Wow - great offerings so far with both collections of warblers.

I have absolutely no clue what the bird I am showing today is as it was a specimen I shot at the Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka CA. Best name I could come up with for it was Ralph. It was a pretty skittish bird that never stayed put long enough for me to get a good shot.

That's one crazy looking bird, very unique.

Kind of like a Blue Turkey. Great shot Alan.

Nice shot of this behaviour. These birds don't come where I live but the behaviour looks similar to Cormorants.

outstanding and it always extra special when you can get two birds interacting and in focus. High marks, Amy

love the photo and Ralph's species is a mystery to me. Post it to inaturalist.org to identify him or any animal or plant.

My area either, I traveled 2,500 miles and spent a week with these birds. Really enjoyed it.

I believe this is the bird - The southern screamer, also known as the crested screamer, belongs to the order Anseriformes. It is found in southeastern Peru, northern Bolivia, Paraguay, southern Brazil, Uruguay and northern Argentina. Its diet consists of plants stems, seeds, leaves, and, rarely, small animals.

Thanks Amy - that does appear to be the correct ID. The problem with shooting at a zoo is the fact that the specimens you see could be from anywhere on the planet.

My contribution today is white, long-legged birds.

I pretty sure this is a Southern Screamer (Chauna torquata) a South American species
