Mid-Michigan today. Seems to have short primary projection and yellowish color on the body. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure when I reviewed all my photos, all Pelagic possibilities were definitely Brandt's. It was surprising how in one shot they can look so dark and slim, and in the next it was obviously a Brandt's.

Thanks. I had some trouble IDing the darker Brandt's vs. Pelagic, which I've never seen before.

San Diego last week. Thanks.

This past weekend. Thanks. Laguna Beach. Allen's? La Jolla Cormorants...

Couple more shots of the third one. Is this a Willet?

Thanks. Would the two in the top center with heads down also be Elegant?

Makes sense. Thanks.

Southern California this past weekend. Thanks. Forster's? Least? Reddish Egret? Based on eBird, I think most of these are Elegant...the one in the upper right seems to have a larger bill, but I'm not sure if that's just normal variance in Elegants.

Thanks. Missed the tear-drop eye ring on the last one.

Playa Vista Riparian Corridor in Los Angeles this past weekend. Thanks. House Finch? Warbling Vireo? Orange-crowned Warbler? Townsend's Warbler? Mourning Dove? Western Gull? Hammond's/Dusky?

Found another. Maybe pewee?

Thanks. Don't know my western birds at all. Couple more shots but they are similar. I didn't get a very close look, but it looked relatively large for a flycatcher (if that's what it is).

Playa Vista Riparian Corridor in Los Angeles this past weekend. Thanks. Cliff Swallow? California Towhee? Vaux's Swift? Ash-throated Flycatcher? Also Ash-throated Flycatcher? Flycatcher?

Playa Vista Riparian Corridor in Los Angeles this past weekend. Thanks. Anna's for #1-3? Allen's?
