@TKbird, Thanks for posting this. I meant to inform you after I got the confirmation from the reviewer.

Taken on 11-26-2022 at Cardiff State Beach, San Diego Co., CA.
Not sure what the smaller bird is in the first photo -- the larger is a Willet.
The second image is the first photo lightened excessively.
The third image is the only other angle I have on the bird.
There were a couple of Sanderlings about 50 feet away, but I'm not sure if this bird is a Sanderling.

It’s a Scaup, look at that bill! I’m not sure if it’s greater or lesser, but probably lesser.
Okay, I can see that. There were at least handful of Lesser Scaups on the lake. It was in the background on the far side of the lake. I guess the angle of the light and the exposure made it look solid black -- especially next to that coot.

Thanks @Connor Cochrane. I was thinking the Chipping Sparrow should have a noticeably rust-colored crown. But this was just before sundown in a shaded area, so the lighting is not so good. Appreciate it.

Agreed, Nashville.
That's funny. I recognized the bird, but I wrote down Tennessee. Then later I thought, wait I've never seen a Tennessee Warbler before. And I started looking at Tennessee Warblers and realized that wasn't the bird I saw. But I couldn't get my mind to separate Nashville and Tennessee into two different birds.

I believe I saw the Wood Warbler in Signal Hill, CA today. I was there from 2:00 - 4:30pm. The bird showed up for about 2 minutes high in a eucalyptus at 180 East Columbia Street. Another birder pointed it out. I got 6 photos of it, but from my photos, I would not be able to positively identify it as a Wood Warbler. Hopefully it will hang around for a while and I will get another chance at it.

She was panting heavily. I was about 70 deg. yesterday.
