	Welcome to Name That Bird! Whether you have just started to feed birds in your back yard or have been birding for years, identifying the birds you see is a large part of the fun and challenge of the hobby of "bird watching." The emergence of the Internet, the Web and digital photography will make it easier for those interested in wild birds to share their experience and knowledge. Can you identify these birds? Name That Bird! is a free, wild bird identification service. To participate, e-mail us an image of the bird in question. The image can be scanned or taken with a digital camera. It does not have to be of publication quality. "Experts" from the Birdzilla.com Web site will attempt to identify the bird for you. Everyone submitting an image will receive a response. Common backyard birds to the most difficult ID challenges are welcome so everyone can participate. If our panel is stumped we will post your bird for public comments. Selected submissions will also be published with identification notes. Click here for the details on submitting the bird image you would like to have identified. Here are two new challenging photographs sent in by Monica. They were taken in the Palo Duro Canyon, Texas (west Texas), in July. If you think you can identify one or more of these birds send your comments to info@birdzilla.com.   Press releases This champion was already nesting in Mississippi in late March. Name That Bird! is a service of Birdzilla.com, one of the largest and most comprehensive wild bird sites on the Internet. It includes the complete "Bent" natural history series (originally published by the Smithsonian Institute) which includes over 8000 pages of natural history information on the Birds of North America. Birdzilla.com has arranged for a panel of experienced birders to review submissions and respond to the submitter. Responses will be handled as promptly as possible. Here is a fun challenge. Do you know this bird? The pictures were taken in the White Mountains of North Eastern Arizona near a lake by Showlow and Pinetop in September, 2004. The bird was alone but there were also 3 Blue Herons in the area maybe sharing the lake/fish hunting? Additional photos here.   *The bird from Mexico is a Groove-billed Ani.
