[Three Little White Gooses]

Thanks all.

I want to show you a couple of photos from there same location taken on 2-3-2022 when there were 5 of them there.  I think the smallest bird in the foreground of the first photo walked ahead of the other 4 that are in the second photo.  Is the largest one with the biggest "grin" a Snow Goose?

[Three Little White Gooses]

Taken in the late afternoon on 5-25-2022 at Santa Fe Dam Rec. Area in Irwindale, CA.

These 3 small white geese were amongst a group of about 25-30 domestic geese.

I'm pretty sure the smallest one is a Ross's Goose.  The other two I'm not sure if they are two Snow Goose, a Snow Goose and a Snow X Ross's Goose, or two Snow X Ross's Goose -- or something else.

What do you think?

This photo you have up is a fox sparrow, not a bell’s sparrow.

Okay, thanks.  I was thinking a juvenile Bell's, but I can see Fox -- that would be a lifer for me.  I don't doubt you, but I'll go ahead and post it as a new topic.  Thanks.

Do you recall whether it was waging its tail up and down?

It’s an empid, leaning Hammond’s but not positive. 

I have 20 frames.  The first 12 it is standing erect with the tail straight down.  The last 8 frames the tail moved forward then back to vertical once, then forward again to the position shown in the last photo.  I don't know if that qualifies as wagging its tail.

Can this one be identified?

Taken on 3-2-2022 in Glendale, CA in native brush along a fire road.

Is this a species of gnatcatcher?

I figured it was a Red-tailed, but wasn't sure.  Thanks.

Thanks!  That's a lifer for me.
