Bullhead City AZ, Part 2 2020

[bpresby]

Maybe three more and a duck.  I group them by what I believe are the same species.  

1)  Not sure on this one 

2)  I do not think this is the same species as the one above, but I am stumped here as well.

3)  I think this is a Yellow Warbler 

4) and the Duck.  I think it is a Mallard, but looked different.  I only was Mallards, as I do this time of year there.

 

 

Thanks for the help!

1.Warbling Vireo, and a flycatcher in the middle two photos.

2. ? (i'll stop using the shrug emoji for @Charlie Spencer) ? 

3. All Yellow Warbler except 4th pic. Maybe Philadelphia/Warbling Vireo?

4. Mallard

Is that what that was?  Maybe it's dependent on the browser, or too small for me to distinguish.  Don't stop on my account, but don't be surprised if I ask about ones in replies to me.

There appear to be multiple species in the first group, so I will do my best to identify by each image.

1. Orange-crowned Warbler

2. Warbling Vireo

3-4. Gray Flycatcher (?)

5-6. Warbling Vireo

7. Not sure

8-10. Yellow Warbler

11. This looks like a separate individual, maybe Orange-crowned Warbler (?)

12-14. Yellow Warbler

15. Mallard

Agree with Sneat. 7 looks like a bright Hammond's.

[Connor Cochrane]

The OCWA looks to be of the Rocky Mountain orestera subspecies. Gray head with bright yellow underparts.

#3-4 -- The bill is far too big and the plumage appears too brown for Gray. I'd go with Willow.

#7 -- Hammond's seems reasonable as it appears to be an adult (yellowy wing bars) and is fresh plumaged

Except for where I differ (above), I agree with Sneat.

@Tony Leukering Willow is quite uncommon and local in Arizona- much of the state is just far too dry to provide suitable habitat for it. In addition, it's in a Palo Verde tree, which is not the first thing I think of when I think of the 'riparian' habitat Willow needs.

Perhaps it could be a Willow if OP confirms this was in a lush area right near the river, but really I'm just not entirely convinced why it can't be the much more common Gray.

Migrants can show up anywhere, and Willows are migrating.

Thanks everyone and sorry for the confusing post and out of order photos.  

So here is the Willow Or Grey: I've added 3 photos that show the environment.  Yes, riparian and lush area right over the water 

and when these were taken the river was up (the release more water as the day goes on) so the branches were almost always right over the water.  

White-faced Ibis just to show environment 

Branches over the water with about a foot or foot and 1/2 of more water to flow later int he day 

Morning shot (I think that is the Brewer's Sparrow) 

And the Hammonds to Confirm:

 

Here is an out-of-focus shot, right after a splash-down moth attack.  Unsure which one this was 

Thank you for the help.
