Seen at Ship Creek in Anchorage, AK, on 27 August 2021. Aleutian var. Cackling Goose or Canada Goose?

Thanks to all! This one's a lifer for me.

Seen at Anchorage, AK, on 2 August 2021. Confirm as a short-billed gull (ex mew gull) ?

Many thanks to all!

These were seen in Fairfax County, VA, on 11 May, and the photos were taken only minutes apart and only a few feet apart, in the same woodpile. At the time, I thought these were all Swainson's Thrushes. Upon close examination, I think that #1 and #2 are a pair of Swainson's Thrushes, while photos #3 and #4 (both of a single bird) appear to be an Ovenbird, showing a hint of the dark streaked crest. Confirmed as Swainson's AND Ovenbird?

Many thanks for raising Bicknell's. We're right on the western edge of their migratory route, so it's possible. Since this one was seen through a glass window at a distance, IDing it through song was impossible. I'll rack this one up as Gray-cheeked/Bicknell's. Thanks to all!

Many thanks!

Seen at Riverbend Park in Fairfax County, VA, on 6 May. Confirm Eastern Phoebe?

Three thrushes in photos below/attached, all seen in the same brush pile in Fairfax, VA, on 7 May 2021. I believe today's photos are (1) Wood Thrush, (2) Gray-Cheeked Thrush, and (3) Swainson's Thrush. Great appreciate any help on these. Thanks!

Many thanks! This one's a lifer!

Seen on the forest floor in Fairfax County, VA, on 3 May. Confirmed Veery?

Six individual birds, seen at the Corn Creek Visitor Center of the Desert National Wildlife Refuge near Las Vegas, NV, on 25 April 2019. In one case, one of these was so accustomed to people that it was hunting insects in the air only feet from us, flying circles around us. Are these all Ash-throated Flycatchers, or are others like Duskys also in the mix?

Many thanks!

Seen at Floyd Lamb Park Near Las Vegas, NV, on 25 April 2019. #1 an Anna's and #2 a Black-chinned?

Many thanks to both! This was a huge help in sorting out a bunch of photos of both Anna's and Black-chinned.
