This Zebra Dove came very close for just enough time to get this photo:

10-7-18 MN :

Agreed.

I agree.... 1. Magnolia Warbler 2. Wilson's Warbler 3. Northern Parula

Agree with parula

Yes, 3 is a Parula.

Looks like a Cape May to me.

Swainson's Thrush and Veery.

1-4 are correct. 5 is a Black-belled Plover.

1 -- Juv Red Knot -- the fine black subterminal band inside a white terminal band on the scapulars and wing coverts is just about diagnostic for the species and age (and, BTW, visible on the upper bird in the second photo of #3). 2 -- Juv White-rumped -- dark legs, no webbing, pale base to the bill 3 -- Juv Pectoral in first pic 4 -- Semis 5 -- Semi/Western -- White-rumped is notably larger than Semi and its wing tips extend beyond the tail tip (all features presented in field guides) 6 -- Dunlins 7 -- Semis/Westerns

Assuming that all pix are of same individual, Hermit. The very black lateral throat stripes rule out Swainson's and the distinct eye rings rule out Gray-cheeked and Veery.

I would expect wings and tail to be more rusty on a hermit but it could be the lighting. Also, I don't know if any of the other thrushes are still in your area.

We do not get White-crowned Sparrows too often out this east, but even less adults. So it was nice to see this beautiful adult perched right out in the open for me. White-crowned Sparrow by Patrick Felker, on Flickr

At one time I think SC said he had 15, if I remember correctly.
