This is what I see in the first post.

Agree.

From today in my local cemetery in Chicago. There were 2 of these birds foraging together so I am not sure the photos are of the same individual. Bird 2: Any suggestions on this audio? birdnet_mobile_2340026484_recording_5794.wav Thanks.

I can believe that. There were plenty around and they were always making noise.

Any thoughts on this. It an area with tall trees and thick brush near Lake Superior on 8/9/22. birdnet_mobile_2340026484_recording_5699 unknown warbler.wav Thanks.

From 8/12/22 1) 2 photos. On the beach of Lake Superior. Semipalmated? The legs look dark to me. 2) Stilt Sandpiper? In a marshy are a bit inland. Thanks.

From 8-10-22 in Au Train, Michigan. Near Lake Superior. 1) Good for Raven? 2) Yellow-rumped Warbler????? Thanks.

I like semipalmated on both the sandpiper and the plover.

OMG. I almost deleted the crossbill photo because I suspected it was a starling. LIFE BIRD!!!!

2 birds from Colorado. Bird 1: Seen 7/12/22 at Devil's Backbone Natural Area in the foothills west of Fort Collins, CO. Female Blue Grossbeak? 5 photos. Bird 2: Single photo. Taken 7/11/22 in Rocky Mountain National Park. Thanks.

Any other opinions on the sandpiper? Here is a slightly different angle.

Yep. I have forgotten about this juvenile in the past. Thanks.

From this morning at Montrose. Bird 1: Sanderling? Bird 2: I am sure I have seen this before but I am drawing a blank. Thanks.

These are from the Well Gulch Nature Trail in Lory State Park west of Fort Collins. It is a shaded, rocky stream in the foothills. Bird 1: Juvenile warbling vireo? Bird 2: 2 photos. Juvenile Lazuli Bunting? Thanks!

All at the Fossil Creek Natural Area in Fort Collins. Big pond with trees around the edge and then knee high prairie grass around that. Bird 1: There were plenty of Common Grackles about but I thought this looked different. Bird 2: Sage Thrasher? Original photo and a crop. Bird 3: A flock or 18 of these birds flitted about the grassland area. Down in the grass for a few minutes then hopping to a new spot. If it was Chicago I would call them starlings. Ignore the WEKI in the first photo. Thanks.
