Birding Boy

The only U.S. hawk with a red tail.

I Had a Good Thanksgiving! Regrettably, I only gained horizontal inches 😛

Agreed

You have the advantage! I can’t see fine details on my phone, lol.

I have no experience whatsoever with pelagic birding, but I agree with Avery.

Yup

I think the streaking in the crown, and lack of an obvious white eye ring. But I don’t have much experience with CCSP, I could be wrong. Edit: I am confused by #5, I’ll leave it to the experts haha.

1: Looks like a Swamp Sparrow with those buffy, unstreaked sides. 2: Correct 3:Looks like a young Chipping Sparrow 4: Vesper Sparrow with that big white eye ring and russet wing patch. 5: I think you are correct. Edit: Didn’t see you change your id to vesper in time!

Agreed

Banding in tail, white flanks with minimal spotting, small bill-it all points towards an immature Red-Tailed Hawk.

The first photo shows an Eastern Bluebird, but yes the second is a Dark-Eyed Junco.

That actually looks better for an adult Broad-Winged Hawk

Those are scaup, female lesser I think. Different head shape, and lack of plumage features I would expect on a male this time of year.

I don’t see any Blue-Winged Teal in there

Looks like Red-Necked Grebe with that dusky neck and big yellow bill.
