Great photo! I use the Merlin Ap from Cornell on my iPhone to ID birds - but it is very specific to location. You can enter whatever location you want, though. I recently discovered this when it did not list frigate birds or even brown pelicans in my area of Florida (frigate birds are an occasional visitor this far north and brown pelicans are like pigeons along the nearby shore and river). My home location is maybe six miles from the ocean - and it is true, I never see either of those birds from my home - but when I entered the beach location on the map screen it listed a large number of birds, including those, not listed inland.

I downloaded some other app and it was a mess...and then used google...will use the merlin from now on...and I think it is a Western Blue Bird. BTW, Ive seen frigates hundreds of miles out to sea. amazing animals.

I am not a birder, but captured this pic in So California. I have tried various web sites trying to identify this bird and one software app. Only things I can come up with is a California Scrub Jay or a Lazuli Bunting (never heard of it before).

Any ideas? This is being submitted for a photo evaluation so I need the bird ID.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks


Its a Western Bluebird
