Taken 11-11-2020 late afternoon at the Los Angeles River near Glendale Blvd bridge in Atwater Village. Please confirm if my identifications are correct. 1, 2 -- Lincoln's Sparrow 3 -- Greater Yellowlegs 4 -- juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron 5 -- Rock Pigeons 6 -- unspotted Spotted Sandpiper

Good job Colton. I figured it would be easy enough for someone with feeders.

How about 3 (or more) species of passerines in one shot.

Taken 11-3-2020 in the late afternoon at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserved in Van Nuys, CA. Is this a Ruby-crowned Kinglet?

Thanks for the tip Benjamin.

Thanks Tony.

Thanks everyone. Good to know about juvenile perching birds.

Taken 10-30-2020 in Glendale, CA (backyard). Are these Pine Siskins? They may have been at my feeders a couple days before I took these shots. If so I probably thought they were small, juvenile House Finches when I glanced out there. It took me a long time to come up with Pine Siskin. When I tried using the Search feature on What Bird, the closest I could come was a juvenile Yellow-rumped Warbler. But the bill was wrong and no eye-ring and the yellow was in the wings instead of on the sides. I finally went by brute force and began looking through every perching and clinging bird in California and finally came to my conclusion of it being a Pine Siskin. Any agreement?

Ah yes. I see that they are in the same genus as most Sandpipers. Thanks akandula.

Thank you Michael.

Thanks Conner.

My friend took this photo with her phone last Sunday Nov. 1 at Pismo Beach CA. I'm not good with shorebirds. Are they a species of Sandpiper, or a Sanderling?

Taken 10-30-2020 and last one 11-4-2020 in Glendale, CA (backyard). Are these all Lesser Goldfinches?
-
Is that an Osprey to the left of the nest? That would be crazy. The stance looks good, but the bill doesn't -- unless its head is cocked to the right.
-
Thank you both Conner and Tony. Would you be able to say whether these are females, juvenile, immature?
-
Thank you all.

Since I don't have a link to anything on ebird, I'm doing just one -- which I took yesterday at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve.

Taken 10-30-2020 late afternoon in Glendale, CA. I'm coming up with juvenile American Goldfinch, but not confident.

Taken 10-12-2020 in the late afternoon at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve in Van Nuys, CA. The first 3 photos were taken in the same sequence. 1 and 2 are definitely one and the same bird. The last 3 photos were taken about 15 minutes later, from the same place and pointing the same direction, and definitely a single bird. I believe the Grebe in the first 2 photos is the same bird as the one in the last 3 photos. If I remember correctly there was only one adult Grebe in the area. I threw in the 3rd photo to see if it is a juvenile Grebe. The gull was in all 6 photos before cropping. If I only had photos 1 and 5, I would think it was a Clark's Grebe. But the other photos suggest a Western Grebe. Although it could have have characteristics of both. Maybe a hybrid? What's the story here? It is just the effect of the lighting giving me problems?

Is the mystery bird rolled on its side so that its underparts are facing the camera?
