The right-most bird is a black-bellied plover, and there are three dunlin behind it.

Lesser Scaup and Yellowlegs?
redcoot replied to dpinkerton's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I think that the male scaup is a greater. The head is significantly rounded, with no visible peak. I agree that the yellowlegs are Greater. Great pictures! -

juvenile grebe & female duck?
redcoot replied to I A Munro's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
1) I agree with Horned Grebe. From the 1st photo, there seems to be a pretty clear line between the white of the cheek and the black on the head. In Eared, the black tends to extend into the white cheek. I love the photo of it diving! 2) I agree with female Ruddy Duck. -
Laughing Gull? Galveston, Texas
redcoot replied to Drewesque's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
I agree with Akiley. There doesn't appear to be any white on the black of the primaries here. -
There are definitely greater-white fronted geese in photos 2 & 3. As for the white goose, do you recall seeing any brown stains on the head? It may help ID this bird.

Lesser or Greater Scaup? Or something else?
redcoot replied to Winter's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Itʻs a scaup, but which kind of scaup might be tough to call... From these photos I would lean towards lesser, but wait for the input of others. -
Hi! This bird was seen on January 6th, 2019 in Altadena, California. I'm thinking that it's a goldfinch, but I'm unsure of which kind. There seems to be a lack of streaking on the belly, pointing to an American? Is there a good rule of thumb for goldfinches? Thanks in advance!

I agree with Royal. If it is rare, congratulations! -
Thank you! For some reason, I can't edit the original post.

Hello all! I was digging through some photos, and I found this shot, taken on January 6th, 2019, in Altadena, California. Could it be a Costa's? The tail has some white on it, the tail barely meets the wing tips, and the throat seems pretty clean. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/139504398@N05/33276095448/in/dateposted-public/" title="Hummingbird Sp. 1/6/19"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7880/33276095448_5d5e9bbd2f_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Hummingbird Sp. 1/6/19"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
