1. Ruby-crowned Kinglet - bill is tiny. 2. Yep on both photos. 3. Yep 4. I can't zoom in but front bird looks like Ruddy Duck and back bird looks like Pied-billed Grebe. 5. Osprey 6. Yep, escaped pet. Cockatiel I believe.

Agreed. If you can see the eye separate from the bill, it's a Tundra, if the bill extends around the eye, it's a Trumpeter.

They remind me of Turkey feathers.

I see light outer tail feathers on the first one, making me lean Western.

That's actually a Ferruginous Hawk. Notice large yellow gape and gray head with light rufous streaking on the belly. Also the grayish red unmarked tail. The underwing coverts are also much more rufous than in a RTHA. The red leggings is also a good field mark.

If the URL has /XXXXXX.jpg at the end it should automatically embed into the post if you copy paste the link. As far as guides go, RobinHood is correct... I use a Sibley's.

Golden-crowned Sparrow. (Immature I think?)

Ah. I didnt know that. I thought BLJA and CAJA as well so that could well be correct.

I'm not too comfortable with them but I'm pretty sure this is a Northern Cardinal.

Looks like a Turkey Vulture with that V.

Awesome! I love the Siskin ?

Looks more like a Western Bluebird to me, and the second one is a House Wren. Welcome to Whatbird!

Agreed! You should put this on eBird.

Wow! Super cool. Leucism isnt necessarily rare but it isn't too common either. Mostly it's just one or two feathers as well.

Whoops, my bad! Tells you how tired I am today... I thought I had looked up cismontanus. Yeah, they are much more limited....

I always identify cismontanus (Also called Cassiar, also called Canadian Rocky Mountain) by the overall slate-colored appearance but with the defined hood. Most of the ones I see do have some brown, but I have seen some without. In any case, I would probably call your bird a cismontanus just due to the description. Looking on eBird, the subspecies isn't uncommon in the Arkansas area: https://ebird.org/map/slcjun?neg=true&env.minX=178.56114165787858&env.minY=15.18776539271735&env.maxX=13.67832915787858&env.maxY=72.52451403967618&zh=true&gp=false&ev=Z&mr=1-12&bmo=1&emo=12&yr=all&byr=1900&eyr=2020

I maintain a kestrel camera and they bring home anything from voles and birds to moths and worms. I've never personally seen them catch small birds but I do know they freak out the feeder birds when they come swooping in! (Once had a chick attempt to swallow an entire tail with the feathers ? ) I agree, that does sound like a kestrel. The only other thing would be merlin.

Yep, red breasted. Long thin bill, distinct facial lines, weird stringy crest, and I think the messy sides are a good field mark too?

FWIW I initially thought SSHA as well.

Yep!

Western Gull x Glaucous-winged Gull. It's the most common hybrid on the west coast.

Not sure, but likely an Olympic Gull... I thought it was a gigantic gull towering over the people when I first saw the photo!

Haha not sure.. I don't keep track of my lifelist too carefully. It was #400 on eBird though

Lifer (obviously) Ivory Gull. INCREDIBLE to see! Full story here: https://idahobirder.weebly.com/blog/ivory-gull-adventure

I've only ever heard it pronounced like "scawp".
