Taken 11-15-2020 in late afternoon at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve in Van Nuys, CA. Are these photos all of Red-Winged Blackbirds? The second photo is a zoom-in of the bird in the first photo. They flew up out of some reeds and then I came upon what I think was the same group of birds about 10 minutes later in some reeds (last two photos). Thanks.

Taken 10-12-2020 in the late afternoon at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve in Van Nuys, CA. The first 3 photos were taken in the same sequence. 1 and 2 are definitely one and the same bird. The last 3 photos were taken about 15 minutes later, from the same place and pointing the same direction, and definitely a single bird. I believe the Grebe in the first 2 photos is the same bird as the one in the last 3 photos. If I remember correctly there was only one adult Grebe in the area. I threw in the 3rd photo to see if it is a juvenile Grebe. The gull was in all 6 photos before cropping. If I only had photos 1 and 5, I would think it was a Clark's Grebe. But the other photos suggest a Western Grebe. Although it could have have characteristics of both. Maybe a hybrid? What's the story here? It is just the effect of the lighting giving me problems?
