I saw these ducks on March 15, 2020 at Lake Monticello, near Palmyra in central VA. I am wondering if they are Greater Scaup. Any help is appreciated.

I saw this grebe on Lake Monticello near Charlottesville, VA on March 31, 2019. I was figuring a Horned Grebe because that grebe usually appears on the lake each winter. Another birder saw the photo and proposed a Red-necked Grebe.

I am wondering if the bird in the middle could be a female Greater Scaup. The photo was taken at Lake Monticello, near Charlottesville, VA on Feb. 2, 2019.

I was able to take some photos this morning of what I think is the same goose.

I took these poorly digiscoped photos near sunset on Jan. 21 at Lake Monticello near Palmyra, VA. I'm trying to determine if the goose in the middle is a cackling goose. https://www.flickr.com/photos/146543736@N07/32956368078/in/datetaken-public/ Here are some other photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/146543736@N07/46779745492/in/datetaken-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/146543736@N07/46779741012/in/datetaken-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/146543736@N07/32956364088/in/datetaken-public/ Thank you for any help that you have to offer!

Digiscoped on 9/2/18 near Rappahannock River in Warsaw, VA. I'm trying to determine if the first two photos are of a Black-bellied Plover or an American Golden Plover. I'm also wondering if the 1st sandpiper is a Solitary Sandpiper, and I am looking for ideas on the 3rd bird! Thank you for your help!

These shorebirds were seen at the edge of a flooded cornfield near the Rappahannock River in Warsaw, VA. I believe both types of yellowlegs were there. I appreciate any help with confirming the two yellowlegs and why the 3 bird in photo 3 might be. Thank you!
