RustyE Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I can help with the first two for now. Will see about the others if I can figure them out. #1 Gagwall #2 Eared Grebe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Pretty sure #4 is a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher. It's a bit far north for one this time of year, and the apparently broken eyering had me concerned. Any other shots of #4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a report on EBird of one a few years back, and I think I would second the ID. 2017-02-04 1 Paul Rodriguez #3 I want to say looks like a Orange-crowned Warbler to me which has many, many reports this year in that location. #5 I am bad with shore birds, and can not figure this one out.

The Bird Nuts Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The warbler is indeed an Orange-crowned Warbler and the sandpiper is a Spotted Sandpiper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
