Why isn't it a Common Grackle?
Seems to me to have a big head, big bill, and relatively short tail.
-
Narrow light brown streaks and obviously graduated tail feathers = Cooper's.

I actually just submitted a feedback request for the eBird mobile app to add a "cancel" button for Internet-enabled tasks (like picking a nearby hotspot), as it can hang the app for over a minute on a spotty connection, during which time you cannot enter any sighting info.
Thanks for doing this! Besides taking forever to find the hotspots, the app crashes every time I end a checklist and never records the end time. I'm still using a notepad and pencil....

I don't see anything that makes the head a RT.
Its head is solid dark brown, it has very pale eyes, and no yellow cere.

And the much thinner pale tail bands? The reason I say that is that juvenile Red-tails have much thinner dark tail bands, thinner than the pale bands.
Also note the rows of pale icicles on the secondaries.
Well, the tail pattern on this one is probably in range for both Red-shouldered and Red-tailed, as the pale and dark bands are about the same width. But the head makes this a Red-tailed.

I just had a dream that I was sitting on the side of the road in front of my neighbor's house (🤨) getting ready to draw and a Golden Eagle, Sharpie, and two Red-shouldered Hawks flew over pretty much at the same time. Then my dad, neighbors, and a few strangers joined me. They talked about how the raptors were so plentiful that day then started using my art supplies. 🤣 Dreams are weird....

Are we at least agreed the duck is a Gadwall?
Yes, Red-tailed and Gadwall.

Seconded.
Whoops, I take that back. I thought Avery said Red-tailed. Why isn't it a Red-tailed with the very pale eyes and thin dark tail bands?

Yep, I think you're right about it being a Goldeneye.

Ring-necked at bottom left in the last photo?

Eastern Phoebe based on the big head.

I hunt on the wing, often for winged hunters. My cousins can be seen across the continent, but my name helps place me.
Northern Shrike?Whoops, they don't hunt for winged hunters!! 😳 -

Yeah, the more I look at it the more confident I am that it is a Common Grackle. Just a bit rusty with grackle ID right now. 🙂
