Avery Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I can confirm the first two photos show Palm Warblers of the western subspecies, with two in the second photo. I agree with 4 and 6, and a gnatcatcher sp. Other than that, I don't know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floraphile Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 The last few pics got interchanged. It's probably obvious, but 9 & 11 are the gnatcatcher and 10 is the tern in flight, showing darker upper wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just now, Benjamin said: Why? No carpal bars, white primaries. I wasn't disagreeing with your tern identifications, I was just saying I don't know a thing about terns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I don't see gulls or tens all that often, so I have not taken the time to be able to identify them of the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
