Thanks Alex! I edited the photo to lighten in up a bit to help. We thought it might be a Blue Wing Teal but they are not common in this area/time so a good sighting for sure. Bill

Saw this bird on Monday July 26, 2021 at the Nob Hill Pond in Redwood Shores California at about 7:30pm. The white on the base of the beak is throwing us off. Thanks in advance! Bill

Thanks for the ID confirmation all!

Hi All, All birds seen today August 1, 2021 at the Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont California. Around 12:00pm today. Photo 1 & 2) Potentially a Wilson’s Phalarope? Photo 3) Which Yellow Leg (Lesser or Greater). Any way to tell. Photo 4) Greater Scaup? Thanks in advance! Bill

Those were the only two birds in the tree that I saw. I just thought they were both Song Sparrows when I walked by so didn’t spend a lot of time with them.

Thanks TBN! This guy was close by. A different bird than the one in the original photo. I didn’t think the fluffing could change the coloration that much. Does this help?

Hi All, Thought this would have been an easy ID for this Sparrow but after an 1 hour, decided I needed help. Seen this AM July 30, 2021 at Charleston Slough in Palo Alto California. About 7am. Thanks in advance! Bill

Thanks everyone for the interesting and educational feedback!

Thanks everyone for looking! @Charlie Spencer we were wondering the same and didn’t know what the ducks colors would be during this time of year.

Hi All, Need confirmation of these 2 ducks. Seen this AM July 30, 2021 at Charleston Slough in Palo Alto California. About 7am. Thanks! Bill

Here is one more photo…

Thanks for helping everyone, I’ll update my list.

Found another photo.

Thanks everyone, we didn’t hear much sound because there were Terns nearby were making a racquet. Here are come additional photos. Sorry, I should have included these the first time. Glad to hear it’s not easy to distinguish.

Hi All, I think this is a Long Billed Dowitcher and there are lots! Ebird says uncommon and is questioning the count. I actually couldn’t get them all into the photo. Seen at Redwood Shores, California , Nob Hill Pond, July 28, 2021 at about 7:30pm. Thanks in advance! Bill

Thanks Seanbirds!

Hi All, Since I discovered this new location, I went back in the morning to see what how it changed. We got there when the birds were starting to leave (6:15am PST). Saw this flock and got a better shot this time. Would like to pin point the Peep Sp. Seen at Redwood Shores, California , Nob Hill Pond, July 27, 2021 at about 6:30am. Thanks in advance!

@Charlie Spencerthanks, always learning more about how the birds behave!

Thanks all!

Thanks! So do Peeps often follow other birds?

@AlexHenry Thanks, I don’t know if you looked at the lead bird and saw the ring feature around the neck. That’s what was throwing us off.

Hi All, Trying to get better with IDing Gulls. Redwood Shores, California Nob Hill Pond, July 26, 2021 at about 7:45pm. Thanks!

Hi All, Need help with this bird… Plover? It was by itself. Seen at Redwood Shores, California , Nob Hill Pond, July 26, 2021 at about 7:30pm.

Hi all, First of a few post from my outing tonight, Nob Hill Pond in Redwood Shores, California, July 26, 2021 at about 8:00pm. Plover? Didn’t realize this spot was such a hot bed and only 5 minutes away from me! Thanks, Bill

Great! Thanks All!
