Taken on 9-11-2021 in the morning at Ballona Freshwater Marsh in Playa del Rey, CA (Los Angeles). I'm thinking the bird in the first photo, and the smaller bird in the second photo are teals. I was shooting through bushes so there is some blur in the second photo. There were four Northern Shovelers, one Ruddy Duck and one Mallard in the area of the second photo. I did see one male Cinnamon Teal (maybe molting) that was in another area of the lake, but not too far away. Other than those, the other ducks I saw in and/or flying over the small lake were 5 other mallards and 16 Gadwalls.

Taken on 9-11-2021 in the morning at Ballona Freshwater Marsh in Playa del Rey, CA (Los Angeles). I think these are both Orange-crowned Warblers, but want to get confirmation or correction.

Taken on 9-11-2021 in the morning at Ballona Freshwater Marsh in Playa del Rey, CA (Los Angeles). This bird looks like a Black Phoebe to me. I can't come up with anything else. But there are two things that bother me. (1) The white on the top of the wing. (2) This bird was flying over 50 feet high in a fairly straight path above a small lake, down the length of the lake. Its not the typical behavior I see for a Black Phoebe -- but maybe it had somewhere to go.

Taken on 9-11-2021 in the morning at Ballona Freshwater Marsh in Playa del Rey, CA (Los Angeles). This bird has been giving me fits -- which probably means its a female Western Tanager. I always have trouble identifying them when they are alone. Especially this bird. The photos were lightened significantly. The sun was behind the bird to the right side of the photo.

Taken on 9-11-2021 in the morning at Ballona Freshwater Marsh in Playa del Rey, CA (Los Angeles). In the first photo, the bird on the left I identify as a Cassin's Kingbird. But I don't know about the bird on the right. The remaining 3 photos are of the bird on the right in the first photo.

Taken on 9-11-2021 in the morning at Ballona Freshwater Marsh in Playa del Rey, CA (Los Angeles). I went to a new spot on 9/11. I don't think I've seen this raptor before. I had to lighten the first to photos quite a bit -- they were very dark. But fortunately it turned into the sunlight before it flew off.
