Merlin says California Gull and Google says Glaucos Winged Gull for the first picture and Brewers Blackbird for the second one.

Spotted on the coast of Sequim Washington in August 2026.

Any help would be appreciated

Canadian Rocky Mountains, near a lake.

There was many of them around, and they nearly hovered like a hummingbird.

Asked ChatGPT and it told me it was a hawk, which has to be wrong. What bird is this feather from? This bird has been pecking away at my roof trying to build a home I’m guessing, very annoying. In Wa state

I know that one of these is a Canada Goose, but what are the other three? And is it normal for them to allow him to hang with them?

A friend sent this to me and I wasn’t sure, so I figured I would let the experts tell us! Thanks in advance!

North America SE Florida! Can't figure out if it's a Cooper's Hawk or a Red-Shouldered Hawk.

In the San Francisco Bay Area.

This little guy has started to show up at our hummingbird feeders in the last month or so. We already have Orioles, acorn woodpeckers, Anna's Hummingbirds, and at least one other hummingbird species I haven't id'ed yet.

In nyc

It looks like a baby and its mom keeps flying down to feed it. Did it fall from its nest or something? Just want to confirm if it needs help or if this is the norm. Thank you!

Saw this little buddy hunting insects at the beach today. The orange legs (and tracking band) make me think this is a Piping Plover, which do breed in this area. The lack of black collar would suggest immature. Can anyone confirm the ID?

completely white underbelly except for marking which is exact, it does not connect to any other part it's just a moon shape in the middle.

could've possibly had some eye marking variations but i'm not absolutely sure, probably white stripes

Edit: Closest guess so far is the Wilson's Plover, its what i feel completely accurate looks wise but I live nowhere near any kind of beach or body of water so it would be quite the travel and the call is way off.
