I suggest we all get together and make name tags for them all. Would make things a lot easier.
(at least until they started swapping them just to frustrate us)In my opinion, identifying things is a big part of the joy of birding. The frustration just makes it more satisfying when you are able to ID a bird correctly.

My Darling Bride is interested in taking up sketching, although not necessarily birds. Would y'all recommend a tablet application for beginners?
Thanks!
There's always paper..........

Some kind of tyrant flycatcher.

Yeah, definitely some domestic genes.

Not sure, probably has some domestic Graylag genes in it.

In what way?
It does look very similar to the Great Lakes gull that has been on Lake Champlain for a few years that I have yet to track down. However that bird has a cleaner head, though with hybrids I’m not sure that matters too much.
Just a feeling... I better not say too much more because of my ignorance in gull identification.

This may be a candidate for Herring x Great Black-backed, known as a "Great Lakes Gull".
From memory the back is an intermediate grey; the bill is black, red and flesh coloured; with the legs being a dark pink.
The one I came across stood out in a group of Herring Gulls.
I don't think it looks very hybrid-y to me...seems like a relatively standard Herring that I somehow messed up.

What about it?
I see red and black marks, whereas Herring usually has an orangish mark.
Edit: Nevermind, I found some examples with red and black markings. Looking at it again does seem better for Herring.

This looks fine for Herring to me. The back may look darker because of lighting.
What about bill color though?

The right is a female RWBL. I am wondering about the left bird. I am thinking either brewers or RW.
The left bird feels more like a Red-winged to me. I have not seen Brewer's though.

Gulls are a headache, especially the western ones. Female ducks are also really difficult.
