I'm not an expert on North american raptors by any stretch of the
imagination but I've been having a trawl.
Sharp-shinned hawk looks to be a possibility

Tom,
Looks a lot like this one, a Red Tailed Hawk that lives near the office.

Nice shot - but a bit hard to ID - how big was it?
Based on the shape of the tail, the markings on the beak, and the pattern
of the breast feathers my first guess would be a female sharp shinned hawk.
Should of been just under a foot long if that is the case.
Second guess would be a female Coop
This looks like a wet redtail to me.

I think this is some kind of warbler. Can’t find an exact match on the web, but
some Warblers are close. Shot these handheld, sitting on my bench with the K-1
and 150-450. Never saw one that I can recall. Could be migratory. Didn’t hang
around long. Any opinions?
https://www.photo.net/photo/183
Are these sparrows? finches? Photographed in Yachats Oregon at Smelt
Sands beach. Actually in a garden at the overleaf hotel, next to the path.
I think the little brown one might be young, I got a mediocre shot of
the other one feeding it.

(Castroville). I've got tentative ID on

young red tailed hawk
The swimming black and white bird was really small, maybe the size of a
pigeon. There also seem to be two types of little grey birds.
Marco inspired me to pay the SS Palo Alto a visit this afternoon. While
I was there, there were shedload of little birds hunting for shellfish
at low tide. I quickly grabbed a few frames before serious processing
to get help with ID. I think that they are Western Sandpipers, but the

I can’t find this guy (or gal) anywhere. He resembles some Warblers but
doesn’t have all the right colors. That might mean that he is a she. Never saw

Thanks Jay! Good call. Based on your work and some subsequent lookipd, I'd
guess it's either Bicknell's Thrush or a Gray-cheeked Thrush. Neither is native
to this area but could pass through when migrating.

Wild guess, based on Eastern guidebooks and unbridled extrapolation to the Left
coast… Maybe some Western Sandpiper there and/or Dowitcher.

That was obvious, what's weird is how that happened, I might have
clipped it out of the facebook link. It's also annoying that they
shortened it by making it one character longer than the unshortened
version, i
No idea about the species, but half expected the photos to be made at the gates
