Took this picture about a week ago in mid-Florida, and just can't place them... appreciate the help!

I took a movie of a creek back in June of 2013, in northern California. In the background I could hear what sounded like a bird. Always wondered what it could be. Water noise is loud, but here's a segment of the movie audio. May have to turn up the volume to hear it. Thanks for the help! West.wav

I find this thread hard to swallow, but I guess I'll take a tern. Does the last poster get a booby prize?

Would these awful quality pics be a Red-breasted Merganser or am I totally off? Taken today in mid-Florida on the west coast. Thanks! P1020296 by James J, on Flickr P1020297 by James J, on Flickr P1020300 by James J, on Flickr

Is this a Swainson's Thrush? Taken today in mid-Florida. Thanks! IMG_7878 by James J, on Flickr IMG_7882 by James J, on Flickr

This poor bird hit my window; took a while to recover but has now flown off, hopefully with no ill effects! Can't see it in these pictures, but had a spotted breast like a Hermit Thrush, but the tail isn't right for one of them. Is it a Gray-cheeked Thrush? Taken today in mid-Florida. Thanks!

Is this just a Pied-billed Grebe or something else? Heavily cropped so not the best quality. Taken today in mid-Florida. ID1 by James J, on Flickr ID3 by James J, on Flickr ID2 by James J, on Flickr

Are these Shiny Cowbirds? Taken last week in mid-Florida. IMG_8374 by James J, on Flickr IMG_8384 by James J, on Flickr

Appreciate the help in identifying this bird; taken last week in mid-Florida. IMG_7100 by James J, on Flickr

Not a Barred Owl, but sounds like a Cockatoo of some sort, especially with that profile.

Took these pictures yesterday at Cocoa Beach, Florida. I believe the 3 black-legged orange-beaked birds are Royal Terns. Is the one with orange legs also a Royal Tern or something else? And the 2nd bird from the left with a different color beak; something else also? P8090415 by James J, on Flickr One more look at the various birds; and is the 2nd bird from the left just a Laughing Gull? P8090421 by James J, on Flickr

Took these back on June 5, in mid-Florida. Cropped and taken with a pocket camera, so quality not so good! Might be two different birds also..... Appreciate the help in identifying them! P6050056 by James J, on Flickr P6050055 by James J, on Flickr
