morning dove!
possibly?
I'd say an American Robin, but you'd probably put up something more interesting.
Jay
Three-toed woodpecker?
/wild guess with help of Whatbird :)
Rock Pigeon
Kestrel
Nuthatch
Wood Pidgeon!
American Redstart?
i dunno looks more like a rorshach test to me!
downy woodpecker?
Boat-tailed grackle?
Is it a Tree Sparrow?
It's a North American rorschach.
I second Rock Dove.
Still think it's a Redstart - just signing the post differently...
White-winged dove
chimney swift?
Sperm whale sock puppet?
Is it a Common Nighthawk?
Columbidae(is that broad enough?) LOL! Although I have to agree that it also looks like the sperm whale sock puppet! that made my day!
I'm going with American Redstart or Yellow Rumped Warbler. They both do that tail spreading thing although the Yellow Rumped doesn't spread it's tail that much as far as I've seen.
Red-Winged Blackbird?
Gotta go with rock dove.
No one has guessed the bird yet. If you've already guessed and want to guess again, feel free.
Here's a hint:
This bird is not found in Minnesota.
Single-winged Tulip tail?
I have to go with "HandShadow Birdie," which if you wait a minute, will morph into a "HandShadow Doggie."
Great Kiskadee?
Killdeer doing it's broken-wing display (to lure predator to edge of precipice)
Corvid? a jay of some sort?
I'd say that it's probably a gull or duck... The pic is sideways.
I'm gonna go with a south polar skua for my first guess.
How about a Common Poorwill, looks like it might be a goatsucker. If not, I would say some kind of flycatcher.

Barn or cliff swallow?
herring gull or maybe glaucous gull?
A warbler... of some kind?
Peregrine falcon?
The bird still hasn't been identified, so here is another hint:
It was taken in Cape May, NJ and it's not a warbler...it's MUCH bigger.
Snow Goose?
Glossy Ibis.
Eurasian Collared-Dove
It's either a red-winged blackbird or it's NBB.
How about a kestrel (american)?
A manx shearwater?

Either some sort of gull, or a common variety city pigeon, though I'm sure you have those in Minnesota,

How about a shearwater?
Northern Gannet
great black-backed gull
~Kyle
Please let us out of our misery...
Is it a pelican?
One final hint:
This bird's identifiable photo was posted on the blog entry for May 8. That narrows it down to five possible species.
Fish Crow was going to be my second guess, so I'll try with that one... :-)
okay, laughing gull. :)
red wing blackbird; but it's probably the crow.
I'll say mute swan, just because I like the idea of a swan butt hanging over a precipice.
I'll say Virginia Rail, just because no one else did.
And, by VA Rail, I mean clapper rail (of course!)
Sorry - I was reverting to what I know.
NICOLE IDED THE BIRD!!!!!!!!
It's the underside of a fish crow that was on the roof of a picnic shelter--it's the crow that broke up the laughing gull skirmish.
Nicole email me your snail mail and I'll send you a feeder--sharon at birdchick dot com.
