Taken 10/9/21 at Montezuma NWR (central NY state). Think the duck is a hybrid? Guessing Sanderlings (with a possible Semipalmated?) on the sandpipers.

Taken at Montezuma NWR in NY state on 10/2/21. Think at least 2 of the pics are the same bird.
-
Sorry about the very poor quality of this pic (about 1/2 mile away). Wondering if possible to ID from wing pattern?

I'm going with Pectoral - later found out the "sharp-tail" sighting was a mistaken ID.

Taken at Montezuma NWR in New York State, not sure on the ID. Assumed it's a Pectoral, but Sharp-tailed was reported there.

I'm far from expert, but with the yellowish throat & chest, I'd say Common Yellowthroat. (Looks like the bird I just posted, only a much clearer pic than mine).

Thanks for trying, I did have long-billed nearby, just thought I'd see if this was the same. Was lucky enough to find a pair of red-necked phalaropes next to this guy.

Taken in central NY State (Montezuma NWR) on 9/11/21. Only shot I got, out of focus. Any way to ID? Thanks.

Taken 9/11/21 at Montezuma NWR NY, not sure if long or short-billed. Thanks for any help.

Question on #5, it was in a field of goldenrod/brush giving chipping calls. I thought it was a wren or sparrow. Here are a couple more pics.

Thanks, I was only there from 5 PM to 7 PM (Beechwood State Park), turned out better than I expected. I was thinking Blue Jay but the throat looked black in that pic. I'm pretty sure the last one was a hooded, it took off before I could get a good shot of it.

Pics taken 9/2/21 near Sodus Point NY (central New York). Several Warblers and a couple others I can't ID. Also had Magnolia, BT Green, Red-eyed Vireo, Willow? Flycatcher, Eastern Phoebe, Eastern Wood-Pewee, and Hooded Warblers in the same area. Sorry for poor quality, very dark, overcast conditions.

Taken on 9/2/21 in central NYS along Lake Ontario shore (Sodus Point). (Sanderling & Semipalmated? Not sure in the 3 in flight).
-
Of course (every other bird around here is a song sparrow) ? Well, I did get a decent bird at the same spot today. Thanks for the ID.

Central NY (south of Rochester) take 8/26/21. Not sure if House/Purple Finch or a sparrow.

As with Ring-necked Pheasants & other game birds, Bobwhite are usually raised by privately-owned farms that offer hunting for a fee. At least some of the birds escape so you still have a chance of seeing them in those areas. Unfortunately, predation and loss of habitat are more detrimental to the survival or re-introduction of the species.

Pics are from Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge (Finger Lakes Region). We've had a lot of nice rarities around lately; including Wood Stork & Spoonbill.

Just FYI, Baird's aren't unheard of here, but are rare for upstate New York (per ebird).

Thanks, I thought the legs looked yellowish in first pick (why I was thinking all Least).

Think these are Stilt (the ones not Yellowlegs).
-
Guessing these are all Least, but one in back looks larger?
-
Seanbirds, did you mean it's not identifiable or it's not a Sedge Wren?

Very poor quality photos of possible Sedge Wren. Was ID'd by it's call, believe this is the same bird. Wondering if it's at all possible to tell by photos.

I'm curious about the eye-ring, would this be a first year or juvenile bird?

Thanks all. (peeps fooled me, thought the ones in back looked larger).
