Seen last week at DeSoto NWR near Missouri Valley, Iowa. I know this is a Bald Eagle. I also know Bald Eagles reach adulthood and attain their fully white head and tail feathers at around 5 years old. Considering that, I'd say this eagle is about 4 years old. What would be the correct way to call this eagle--immature, sub-adult, other?

Is this a Bullock's Oriole or a first year male Baltimore Oriole, or other? Seen today at DeSoto NWR near Missouri Valley, IA.

Mourning Dove?

Thanks akandula. I think the weird iridescence on the back of the neck from a small breeze is what made me have 2nd thoughts. -
Seen last week outside DeSoto NWR near Missouri Valley, Iowa. I'm about 90% sure this is a Mourning Dove. But...something nagging in the back of my head (can't put my finger on it) suggests it just might not be.

Seen last week at DeSoto NWR near Missouri Valley, IA. Was this a Warbling Vireo? This was the only unobstructed in-focus pic I managed to capture of it.

Seen last week at DeSoto NWR, near Missouri Valley, IA. I think the lighter colored one (on the right) is a Willet. I'm not certain about the other two birds. This website helped me ID a few Willet at the same location. The 2nd image (photobombed by a blurry Barn Swallow) shows the in-flight bird better. It's the same as the one on the right. Note the eye ring on both birds.

Seen a few days ago at DeSoto NWR, near Missouri Valley, IA. Was this a Solitary Sandpiper? It was all by itself after all.
