Agree and I think the 4th is red-shoulder

I like the common loon idea - looks like a bit of a white collar.

might have to amend to greater due to the longish bill

Looks like it to me. Might be a Lesser Yellowlegs with the short neck. Migration time.

Looking again, I think it is a least. Haven't seen one for a while. Thanks

Could be but flitting around in a bush, not behaving like a flycatcher. Will wait for other responses.

Agree, mallards

I'm going with Hairy - great debate

Agree with Western wood-pewee, Western meadowlark and lark sparrow. Any chance you heard the first bird call? Can't mistake the pewee.

Must have caught it at the edge of its range. I see them often in BC.

Color looks more robin but rare to have robin's nest on the ground; also I think uncommon for catbirds

Hi all, saw this bird this morning SE Michigan, Heritage Park. Very distant but black (about the size of a red-winged BB) with white back and some around the wings. I think it may be a bobolink but none reported yet at the park and no yellow patch seen at the back of the head.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the crappy photo but it landed quite distant.

I considered this, but the wings had more of a V shape and the patch seemed more narrow - like a band vs. splotch. Still could be...

Here in South Dakota near the Nebraska border and saw two birds - bigger than robins but smaller than a Cooper's hawk. Driving so just seen briefly but at 4 pm so had a clear view. Appeared to be grey with very distinct white bands on the underside of the wings as noted above. Tail was fairly long and almost seemed banded. The only bird that I could find that looks like it (and is in the area) is a Common Nighthawk but I have not ID'd it before and this was not dusk. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Agree. So much earlier than up in BC.

Thanks, don't know why this one threw me except that I usually see the females with the males which makes ID easy.

The grayish face and finer stripes on the chest do suggest Lincoln's but I am not seeing a buffy wash. I agree that LBB are difficult, but nice photos.
