Female Stellars Eider for 3.

Bottom photo is your Glaucous-winged. Note the white tipped primaries, and the gray in the primaries matches the mantle gray.

That bill really threw me. Doesn't have that dainty look, but being jammed open with a meal sure distorts the view.

any other photos showing the primaries from the side or rear?

Suggesting juvi Blue-headed Vireo for #1

Common Yellowthroat

White stripe by the rump = Look like a Green-winged teal (female or imm. male)

I think I see banding on P4 and P5 all the way to the tips. This would be good for a juvi dark Harlan's according to page 83 of "A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors" by Wheeler & Clark (2003).

I'm not fully confident on this one - - was hoping for input from others who are more familiar with eastern gulls.

Primary extension looks fairly long too. Along with Herring Gull size comparison, provides a couple more points in favor of Iceland.

Well.....these photos make me lean more toward Iceland. The bill looks smaller than glaucous and the base looks more yellowish than pinkish. Head shape looks a bit less flattened. Possibly a splash of gray in the primary edges?

First photo - - Appears to have no color in the wingtips. Along with bill size and head shape I'd say Glaucous. Bill tip suggests a subadult. It otherwise just looks too bulky and large billled for an Iceland (gaucoides). Hope some others weigh in on this.

Northern Pygmy-Owl. The high open perching habit, stick-like tail, and spotting are good clues here.

Looks like an Eastern Spot-billed to some extent. Where is this?

Looks good!

For discussion, Nat. Geo points to the buffy-tipped wing coverts on 1st year Gray-cheeked.

Bill length and shape and GISS suggests possibly cinnamon teal - but that's just a guess.

Looks OK for a juvenile.

Clark's Nutcracker

Well, given the lighting and such in photo 2, a subjective call might go either way. Looking through a couple R. Wright references; "Sparrows of N. America" p 241 indicates ..."flanks and breast sides are gray with a barely discernable overlay of pinkish". In "The Junco called Cassiar" he says a "nearly invisible tinge of gray on its brownish flank".

No. 1 appears to fit the cassiar description well. No. 2 looks to have some buffiness in the flanks and black hood. I'd call that an Oregon male. No. 3 looks like an Oregon female with the grayish hood.

Appears to be Dark-morph red-tail. Rufous tail, and no white streaking anywhere around the head.

Looks like Ring-billed to me.

Near Florida Canyon, Pima Co., AZ. Apr.25

Found at the mouth of Florida Canyon, Pima Co., AZ. April 28, 2019. It was giving a call similar to the "chi-bik" of a Least Flycatcher, but it was rougher, lower pitched, and louder. The 'vest' made me think WWPE upon first sight, but the eye-ring, strong yellow, and short bill made me look at Empids. The closest fit is Yellow-bellied, but range maps do not extend to AZ and there are very few eBird occurrences for AZ. Any thoughts?
