Sugar Land

I took that picture yesterday in Galveston, TX. I initially thought it was a Herring but that head looks way too white to me and I don't see enough contrast between the mantle and the underparts to call it a lesser black-backed (bill color does not seems quite right either). Always a difficult group for me and I would love to hear more opinions. thanks in advance

is this a juvenile white-fronted? It does not fit any profile in my guide and I would appreciate any help thanks in advance

I believe the bird on the far right could be a possible Iceland (thayer's) immature, but I need confirmation Taken saturday near Houston thanks in advance

taken today near Houston Thanks in advance

I would love to hear opinions on the bird seen on the far left. The sunlight is complicating things and I want to make sure that I am not missing anything Pictures taken on Thursday in Fort Bend County, TX, near Houston. Thanks in advance

Couldn't get better pictures. My guess is Great Horned Owl. Taken this morning near Houston thanks in advance

Very pale individual, I tried all possible marks but i would love to hear from more experienced birders. Taken yesterday in Houston, where we mostly get eastern but western can be found regularly. Same individual thanks in advance

who's this little fellow accompanying these Northern Shovelers? taken this morning near Houston, TX Thanks in advance

Based on location (Houston, TX) and the grayer aspect of the crown and auricular i think this is a black-chinned. Agree or disagree? Any comments will be appreciated. Taken this morning. Thanks in advance

This one is confusing me although I am probably overthinking it. It doesn't;t have the whitish throat of indigos but it has a brown and white two-tone body color. It almost fits lazuli but this picture has been taken this morning near Houston so we are a bit out or range. comments? Thanks in advance

Taken yesterday in Sabine Woods (Border between TX and LA) thanks in advance 1.Maybe I am overthinking it but I am having lots of doubts about this one 2. could this be brown-crested? seems pretty pale yellow to me 3. least

I can't figure it out at all. Any help will be appreciated Taken this morning near Houston, TX Thanks in advance

I may be asking too much but just in case, the poor recording catches a call that I have heard today repeatedly but yet, it is new to me in this area. Any help will be appreciated. taken this morning near Houston thanks in advance 20190920_105334.wav
