[Magnolia Maybe???]

I am no expert but from what I can find...seems to fit...were you at the bird preserve on the island?

[Sharpie?]

one more vote for Coopers for the reasons mentioned by IvoryBillHope

[sparrow??]

was going through old photos and found this.. Thought it was a chipping sparrow but the dark mark on the chest confused me . Could it be a juvenile American Tree Sparrow? 

Photo taken in late March 2017 - Baltimore County MD

[My best candidate yet for a Cackler]

I was going to make a similar comment to Akiley....4th picture and others include a goose that does not look like the others.  larger bill for one thing - could it be just a canada goose

[Chipping Sparrow?]

also agree 

[Florida Duck]

[Cylburn Aboreatum Baltimore Md]

[Cylburn Aboreatum Baltimore Md]

[Cylburn Aboreatum Baltimore Md]

can snyone ID this bird found after a window strike at the nature center at the Clyburn Aboreatum today.  It was very small..a penny has been added to the picture for scale

[Duck ID?]

No, female Cinnamon Teals have mottled plumage and rounder bills and they lack the contrasting light patch near the base of the beak and the peaked head shape, as you noted.

thank you .

[Duck ID?]

question - could this be a  cinnamon teal - female, juvenile or eclipse.  Beak color and shape seems different then female type Ring-Necked Duck. BUT the heead is more "peaked " than i would expect for a teal. Best i leave this for experts

 

[Everglades]

thank you both

have now labeled this one

[Everglades]

Excuse me if this is a duplicate from long ago - I did not write the name of this if i have posted it before and have had to restore alot of the everglades photos and do not have name for this

[Mabey a Eared Grebe?]

Oct 2018 Texas coast

thank you...i will retract my guess and let someone more familiar ID this.  I got a eared grebe in winter plumate in Nevada bout 10 days ago.....and had no idea what it was...other then grebe till someone ID'd it as an eared grebe '

'

oh yes....do you know that the big bird in left  corner is (heron?)

[Mabey a Eared Grebe?]

it is a long way but - by the shorter/thicker  bill, i would say pied-bill grebe.  

edit - location and time of year???

[two more from Henderson Nevada]

I did not think to look at winter plumage but have some pied billed grebes in there winter plumage taken the same day.   But yes it does look like an eared grebe in winter plumage.  I was at HBVP in April of this year and have eared grebes in breeding plumage and did not make the connection.

and thank you for IDing the cinnamon teal.....

thank you

[two more from Henderson Nevada]

oh yes...thought the grebe may have been a least grebe but that does not appear on the HBVP checklist

[two more from Henderson Nevada]

two more - Oct 23, 2018 - Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve Nevada

first is a grebe (I think) of some sort but cannot ID it

[Purple Finch?]

agreed - female purple finch  - primary field mark for me  is white eyebrow..to distinguish female purple finch from female house finch

[confirmations and/or ID]

all of these taken October 23, 2018 at the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve (HBVP) in Nevada

1  yellowlegs - unsure if greater or lesser - Both are on the HBVP checklist
