Semi/Western?

Never mind. They both are. But is it a juvenile or non-breeding adult?

Are the other two ducks in the lower pic "normal" Mallards?

Unfortunately this is the best photo I managed to get. It's heavily cropped, and was never in focus to begin with. The other shots of it are even more out of focus.

Seen 2 weeks ago in NW Missouri. Could this be a Wurdemann's Great Blue Heron?

Dang it. Foiled again.

No pinkish red skin between the bill and the eye, eye appears black, not red, legs appear darkish, but not redish. That's why I'm still thinking Glossy.

Woww!!! I had no idea they had a little red spot on their heads like that!
I didn't either. Apparently they only display it when there's a predator nearby and/or they feel threatened

I'm sure you're right. I did photograph a Swainson's a few days earlier on the other side of the lake. What threw me was the Merlin App heard two different thrushes. Regrettably, I deleted that file, so can't recall what two thrushes were suggested by Merlin, but I definitely remember that Swainson's wasn't one of them.

More specifically, what is the large gull towering over the Forster's? Terns? Pic was taken several years ago in Augist in western Iowa.
