Can you identify any of the following bird species? If so, please let me know via email.
Many thanks, Dick Daniels


Jamaica - November, 2011

JA1 - similar to a Black-faced Grassquit


JA2


JA3 - perhaps a Sad Flycatcher



North Carolina Zoo

NCzoo1  - Looks similar to a male Amethyst Starling, but also quite different from my other pictures



These UFOs were sighted during our September, 2010 trip to South Africa

SA 2 At St.Lucia


SA 3 At St. Lucia


1) SA 4 In Swaziland     2, 3) SA 5 Between Swellendam and DeHook Nature Reserve. Possibly a hybrid.  


SA 6  At Plettenberg Bay.  3) Adult feeding juvenile


SA 7  At Oudshoorn



During our South African trip we visited Birds of Eden, where two hectares (5 acres) are enclosed via a net. This allows birds to roam / fly freely in native South Afrian habitat.  The birds were not all native to Africa, so identifying them can be especially challenging!

BOE 4


1) BOE 6  type of Jay?    2) BOE 7  maybe of genus Pyrrhura
