When I get back from every big trip, the first thing I do with my photos is to identify every animal and put them into folders. I always end up with a bird folder labeled “Unidentifieds” — those that Google doesn’t have any obvious answers for. Usually that folder remains forgotten as most of those birds are rather drab looking and as such, not given much attention. Tonight I decided to delve into my Unidentifieds folder from my Kenya trip back in 2011. Among the mystery birds, I came across this pleasant looking little guy. I was determined to identify him and to the best of my ability, I think he’s an African gray flycatcher. Not the most colorful bird I saw at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, but given a second look, I found him quite agreeable. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 340mm) ISO 400, f/6.3 at 1/160th of a second.
Is this like a Rumplestiltskin thing where if you don’t guess the creature’s name correctly, then you have to pay some kind of penalty? Is that why you’re bald, because you guessed a bird’s name wrong?
An app called “Merlin” from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a photo ID option. With the great detail in your photographs, Merlin should be able to pull those unidentifieds out of that folder and give them a proper identity.
