DC064

Thanks mm325 and HamRHead.

Saw this bird in the Ramona Grasslands (Southern Cal) on 3/15. Could not get close so the photos are poor even with 560mm lens. Any ideas?

Thanks for the ID

You may be right. What throws me off a bit is the white chin I see in iBird. This bird does not seem to have it.

There was a flock of small birds flying close to the ground in the Ramona Grasslands in Southern California. They were mixed in with Mountain Bluebirds. They seemed to feeding on insects like the bluebirds. Small very fast birds that were also foraging on the ground. I believe they may be flycatchers but I cannot find a match.

Thanks for the ID dred. I was afraid that may be answer.

This duck was seen at Santee Lakes in Southern California a few days ago. Does not seem to match anything in iBird Ultimate.

Thanks for the ID. I never heard of domestic mallards. Googled it and now I know a bit more. Thanks. Dave

This duck was seen at Santee Lakes in Southern California near San Diego.

Can't find this duck in either iBird Ultimate or the Crossley ID Guide Waterfowl.

Thanks for the ID.

Is this a least sandpiper? Seen at Lake Hodges in Southern California.

Thanks. The wing pattern threw me off.

Bird seen in southern California, Dec 3, at a lake. Seems to be a dove but using iBird Ultimate I cannot find a dove with red eyes that matches.

Yes, I think you have it. Thanks.
