I saw this bird today at a pond in Essex County. There had been reports of a pectoral sandpiper on E-Bid at this spot, which is what brought me here.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw these birds today at a nature preserve in Bergen County, NJ. These birds moved quickly and were a challenge to photograph.. I think these would be a blue-gray gnatcatcher, and a red eyed vireo? Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Is it a female for the prairie? and I have one more I'm not sure of.. is this one also a yellow?

I will accept the perceived sarcasm given my vast level of peep ignorance. 😧

Thank you! Can I ask a follow up.. are these also leasts? I think the birds in flight are with the black in the center of the tail.. In the second picture, I guess the bird in the front right is the one I'm most unsure of.. Thank you!

I saw this bird last week at a nature preserve in Northern New Jersey. I had seen several Least flycatchers, so I assumed this was also a Least. The lighting is bad, so maybe its an illusion, but the eye ring seems less pronounced to me than the other leasts.. Is this also a least flycatcher? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oops... I haven't coffee yet.. sorry about whatever I did with these pics...

I saw these birds a few days back at a nature preserve in Northern New Jersey.. They all seem to have different coloration, which I know could be age, or if they are breeding.....but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw these birds this past Sunday at a Nature Preserve in Northern New Jersey. I believe the first is a black and white. The other two birds were in the same bushes, but they don't seem to be the same species...Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it helps at all, here is a few more pics of the last bird.. but I didn't get any good frontal shots. The nature preserve I was at is DeKorte Park in the Meadowlands, and looking at E-Bird, there are reported sightings of Least and yellow bellied, so that didn't help either...

I saw this bird yesterday at a Nature Preserve in Northern New Jersey. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I spent several hours at the preserve, and I saw a few more very similar birds.. would these also be Least Flycatchers?

I saw these birds today at a Nature Preserve in Northern New Jersey. I think I have a goldfinch, although it seems drab for a goldfinch... and maybe a least flycatcher? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I saw these birds today at a local park in Essex County New Jersey. I believe I have a juvenile double crested cormorant, a spotted sandpiper, and a green heron, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
