Hi everyone;
Having just started this hobby in January I am finding it both highly enjoyable and highly confusing at times (ha). Last week's trip to Serpentine River left me with three birds that I am not entirely sure of an ID for, hoping this community has a more definite answer!
Bird 1:
I think this is an American Pipit given location (on the ground, next to a puddle on a field) and markings but am not certain.
Bird 2:
I am relatively certain this is either a Western Sandpiper or a Least Sandpiper but can't tell them apart all that well. I will say that these guys (there were about 6-10, same puddle as the Maybe Pipit above) were very small.
Bird 3:
About 3-4 of these in the canopy, eating the new growth. On other pictures the white throat is more evident, as is a bit of a white eye ring. I've looked at various thrushes and wrens but none seem quite 'right'...
Thanks!
