Western Kingbird Maybe – California
Now that I am trying to put names with the photos of some of the avian creations from our vacation, I have some that I have no idea what they are. Help needed.
Some I have narrowed down to one or two (or three or four) possibilities. Since we live in Florida and these were taken out west, I am not certain of their IDs.
If you have seen these, could you leave me a comment. It sure would help.
Western Kingbird Maybe – California
Is this a Western Kingbird or one of the Flycatchers. Some of them are so similar it is hard to tell them apart.
Here’s another:
Costa’s Hummingbird – I think – California
Pretty certain of this, but not sure. Been checking on-line and in the books.
Here are the last two, for now. Still going through the photos.
Verdin – Maybe – California
Same bird:
Verdin – Maybe – California
The last one.
Dusky-capped Flycatcher – Maybe – California Cropped
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Matthew 7:7 KJV)
Thanks again for any help with the IDs.

For the first two I would have said Kingbird too, but that’s all I can probably help you with. You seem to have done more research than I have, because I know close to zilch about western birds. Florida is my specialty, but I do wish you luck in trying to figure them out! I also recommend Merlin Photo ID, if you do a Google search you should find it. I’ve used it a couple times and it is usually accurate.

Thanks, I’ll check the Merlin Photo ID. Not familiar with it. By the way, we are in the center of FL..

Yes, we’re on the Gulf of Mexico. Are you far enough up to get Chickadees?

Have seen them on occasion at a park. We are in Winter Haven.

Nice! I was really sad when we moved down here and realized that we were too far down to be in their range. Anywhere farther south than Tampa is too far I believe.
