Mallard. Notice the white stripes on both sides of the dark wing patch ('speculum'). Mottled and Mexican lack these bars. Those same bars also rule out American Black Duck.
Mexican Ducks have white bars...

However, I agree this is Mallard.

Definitely Black-headed. You can see part of the yellow underwing.

Why?
2 hours ago, Ed hogg said:I'm pretty sure this is a Hairy Woodpecker due to the lack of black spotting on the outer tail feathers.
Taking another look at it, yes. The other photo also gives me more Hairy vibes. 🤦♀️
I'm going to blame it on the fact I haven't seen these since being in Europe for three weeks.

These "Hairy Woodpecker" photos have to be Downy. I still can't report incorrect species.

1. White-throated Swallow
2. Southern Boubou
3-4. Water Thick-Knee, I think.

Yes, it is a Boat-tailed Grackle. It may seem off because it appears to be molting its tail feathers.

Could somebody help me report the "Eastern Phoebe" photos on this checklist? Should be Eastern Wood-Pewee. Found it while doing a photo quiz. Thanks.

Mis-IDed Semipalmated Sandpiper vs Western Sandpiper when one of those is rare is probably a lot easier to clean up than mis-IDed House Finch vs Purple Finch when neither is rare but a lot of people make that mistake.
My regional reviewer sets the filter to 0 for Purple Finch during the CBC, because of the amount of inexperienced birders making observations during that time and Purple Finches are also more uncommon in my county than House.

Came back from the trip afternoon of the 15th. I'll finish submitting my checklists and uploading photos soon! I'm also going to add my short daily notes here.

There's a Caspian Tern in the first photo as well.

I'm definitely getting kestrel vibes.

Agreed, and I'm getting Least vibes from the first.

Mexican, Mottled, or Mallard?

Not sure, I've seen quite a few photos where they have two.
