Thanks. These were taken about five minutes apart, but I was pretty sure it was the same bird. To me, the bill in both pictures aren't much longer than the head so I initially submitted to eBird as a Lesser.

Same bird in both. Mid-Michigan today. Thanks.

Here's another picture in case it helps.

Mid-Michigan today. Thanks.

None reported at this location recently that I know of. I've had them here the last few years but those were nice enough to hang out closer to the overlook.

I went back to try to get better pictures. Not sure these really help

Mid-Michigan today. Stubby bill and short neck through the scope with slight white neck ring. Could only get these poor pictures (Lesser Scaup and maybe Bufflehead around it). I wasn' t sure if it is too big compared to the diving ducks to be a Cackling. Thanks.

Not sure these are IDable. Mid-Michigan today. Thanks.

Mid-Michigan today. Thanks.

Mid-Michigan today. Thanks.

Mid-Michigan today. Not sure if this counts as the white stripe extending to the primaries. Thanks.

At 13 seconds and 27 seconds. Mid-Michigan today. Thanks. 20210307-111415.wav

Mid-Michigan today. The larger blackbirds are Red-winged I believe. Are the two smaller and lighter ones cowbirds? Thanks.

Here's a shot of them flying away. Some of the wings in this looked like the white inner wing/black outer tips which made me think bunting. Apologies for all the terrible flyover pictures lately, but I just realized recently that I should be looking up more...

Terrible pics but I wasn't sure if the tail pattern was diagnostic. Same bird in both. Mid-Michigan today. Thanks.
