Me too! I didn’t want to say it but glad to hear someone else thought the same thing.

Any ideas?

Any ideas? Pattern under the tail seems distinctive.

Mottled? Mallard? Any help appreciated.

That was my first impression also. But I'm questioning myself. Something just seems "off" about the bill and the posture for Wilson's Plover to me. I considered Spotted Sandpiper, but that doesn't seem right either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Merlin is saying Iceland or Glaucous-winged. I just don't know how to distinguish them.

Could the bird on the left possibly be a Pelagic Cormorant?

Please help with this gull ID. Thanks.

Some kind of warbler maybe?

Dragon49 Listen to some recordings of the vocalizations of both types of crows. They are VERY different and with just a bit of experience, they are EASY to tell apart. With that, you will quickly get TWO new birds on your life list! Good luck!

My first thought was Ruddy too.

Bufflehead.

You and me both. The bill just looks large and "cinnamon-y" to me. (the bird on the left).
