Thanks all for setting me straight. FWIW, also got a couple more lifers: Black-Headed Grosbeak, Lesser Goldfinch, California Gull, Anna's Hummingbird and Black Phoebe. Overall a productive trip! Jerry

Ahhh . . . thank you Ed! Jerry

All taken week of August 7 Went for a visit to southwest Oregon from Georgia . . . couple of flycatchers. Not a lot of experience with them. Pictures 1 and 2 are same bird. Throw out a guess of Ash-Throated because of black bill, but don't see any rufous on the wings. Picture 3 - Willow? Thanks - Jerry Waverly Hall GA

My day will come! Thanks - Jerry Waverly Hall GA

Please send it to Georgia . . . great photo. Jerry Waverly Hall GA

I'll take 'em! Thanks Connor/Tanager . . . Jerry

Going through old pictures. Was on a cruise - did a whale watching excursion and saw these . . . Murrelets? Clearly this Georgia boy not familiar with these seabirds. Is there enough to ID here? Thanks for the help, Jerry Waverly Hall GA USA

Thank you Bird Nuts . . . Gray-Cheeked is a lifer. Looks like I have a mixed flock here. Fascinating! Jerry Waverly Hall GA

Have about a dozen thrushes taking up residence in a tree at the far end of my yard. Never had a chance to watch them for any time before this, they'll probably be leaving soon. Checking: No 1 - Gray-Cheeked? Leaning toward this with incomplete white eye-ring No 2 - Swainson's? Seems to be a buffy eye-ring. Don't know what else to use to ID the two. Thanks for help, guidance! Jerry Waverly Hall GA USA

QQ/Grackle: Well, that's as silly as a House Finch!? I'll go with that unless someone offers something more compelling. Thanks - Jerry Adding Kevin to the thanks!

East Coast guy gets a week out West . . . found this at Lake Selmac (Aug 17, 2021). Something silly like a House Finch? Appreciate the help . . . Jerry Waverly Hall, GA

Thanks Nut - I had written off the Kinglet because of color. These are the colors I am used to for the RCKI: Jerry Waverly Hall, GA USA

Lake Selmac, (west) Oregon, April 14 during my west coast trip. Convinced myself its a flycatcher - leaning toward Hammond's, with Dusky and Gray as alternatives (in that order). Appreciate any help . . . Jerry Waverly Hall, GA USA

Savannah Sparrow? Jerry Waverly Hall GA

Well gosh darn! Thanks Aidan . . . Jerry Waverly Hall, GA
