I went birding today and saw tons of new birds (to me at least). It was good day. Anyhow, I have lots of questions about identification of these birds, but I'm going to be doing two posts because there are too many photos. These are the ones that I think I know what they are. There were all taken in the Merced area in central California.
1. loggerhead shrike
2. snow geese - according to my book, snow geese may have rusty patches on the face. Some of these do. There are also blue morphs in there somewhere. I just want to make sure they aren't Ross's geese. Although, maybe some of them are Ross's
3. Cooper's hawk - this one was kind enough to stay put for quite some time. I was able to get a lot of photos.
Thanks in advance!
