A cropped photo is attached, as requested. It is hard to tell the true color of the head with this angle of lighting. I increased the exposure, and now am seeing green in addition to the white stripe on the wing. I appreciate all the insights!

Observed in Suffolk County, NY -- February, 2021

Flew around in circles a few times; note the white stripes on the wings. I was thinking gadwall or female mallard?

Thank you!

Seen on 1/17 on Shelter Island, NY

Yes, I agree Belted Kingfisher. Note the brown on the side

A group of two or three of them on Eastern Long Island, in a wooded area near the water. Appeared as maybe a Cooper's. Medium-sized. Noticed a long tail with dark stripes underneath. They were flying from branch to branch, making a lot of noise. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture. hawk sound.m4a

certainly a grackle!

I agree with Caspian Tern - black cap and thick, long orange/red bill
