Agreed.

What a cutie! Nice shot!

I wish they all could be California gulls.

I agree with all the above--Great shot of a White-rumped Sandpiper. The orange base on the lower mandible is diagnostic for White-rumped.

I'm not sure about your particular call, but xeno-canto is a good place to search for bird sounds. Here is a link to Blue Jay: https://www.xeno-canto.org/species/Cyanocitta-cristata

The links don't seem to be working, at least for me.

Swamp Sparrow

I agree with Least Bittern.

I like the title! I've been too busy to spend much time on here. I can't look at all posts, but I had to click on yours.😁

Maybe Lazuli Bunting. I'm not actually familiar with Lazuli so wait for additional response.

With the dark iridescent feathers and light spots, as well as the yellow bill, this is a European Starling.

Flycatcher. Maybe Cordilleran, but wait for more input. Welcome to Whatbird!

But that face! It looks like a gargoyle!

Thanks, all. I'm out of likes at the moment. I really appreciate the responses.

Yes, but we get a few up the east coast, so not freaky strange.
