[Which sparrow? - Harker Heights, TX - 3/13/22]

Yes, this is definitely a Savannah

[Would you call this a Cackling/Canada, or one or the other - SW MI 2/27]

These all look fine for Canada

[Veery?]

Perhaps a bit of a pigment issue. Definitely a Hermit thrush though

[What Gulls? Central NY 3/10/22]

Oops, I don't know how I came up with 3 white wingers lol

[What Gulls? Central NY 3/10/22]

Ehhhh, I'd lean Iceland here

[What Gulls? Central NY 3/10/22]

Well, you've got at least two Icelands. That bird with the bicolored bill is interesting- perhaps a very small Glaucous...

[Possible Crossbill - Partial Photos - Bloomington, MN]

Heavy facial streaking, contrasting dark crown = WWCR

[Rare Birds!!!]

I'm in the RGV... So there's a lot I could post lol.

Hook-billed Kite:

[Help with a sparrow please]

I did not take the time to consult ebird range maps. However, with this new info, this is definitely a Nelson's Sparrow until proven otherwise.

[Help with a sparrow please]

Why Nelson's? This looks perfect for Saltmarsh to me

[plover ID help]

That's a long bill... At least the backmost bird in the last photo is a Dunlin

[Confirm pelagic cormorant.]

Confirmed. That strange head structure is completely distinctive

[Would each of these be Tundra Swans?]

There have been a few Trumpeter in upstate (central) New York this year. They haven't normally been a "winter" bird, but their numbers are increasing in the East (many older Eastern Guides don't even list them). I was actually able to find all 3 species in a State Park yesterday (Geneva NY).

Those look like Tundras ?

[Distant Gulls.]

Looks like a third cycle to me

[Distant Gulls.]

Herring

[Is this identifiable?]

The short bill, uneven eye ring and short legs make this an empid. Looks like Dusky/Hammonds, likely Hammond's.

[Strange Hawk - Birmingham, AL]

This is not identifiable

[Slatey Backed, Lesser BBG or other gull?]

The bulky, bone-colored beak seems completely wrong for LBBG, or at least I have never seen one with such a bill pattern. How is GBBG completely eliminated?

I would post this on the NA gulls Facebook page

[Tundra swan?]

It's definitely a Tundra, not because of size but the short bill and thin lores.

[Gull ID.]

Not identifiable. Probably herring

[Thoughts on Swans (Trumpeter v. Tundra) - SW MI 2/6]

The thick lores and long straight bill of the rightmost bird of the left group make it a pretty clear Trumpeter imo

[Thoughts on Swans (Trumpeter v. Tundra) - SW MI 2/6]

I could get on board with the rightmost group being all Tundra. The rightmost bird of the left group is definitely Trumpeter. The size difference is not always super noticable, particularly when considering perspective.

[Thoughts on Swans (Trumpeter v. Tundra) - SW MI 2/6]

I disagree. In the second photo, the leftmost bird of the right group looks good for Tundra. The third from the left bird is also a possibility.

[White Wing or Red Crossbill in MN?]

I’m having trouble figuring out why I initially thought that too… could you list some ID characteristics? I’m in total agreement I just want to know why. 

That well defined streaking is classic WWCR. Plus color and bill size (WWCR generally appear to have a slightly smaller bill, but I'm not weighing this heavily, it just contributes to the impression)
