    Herring gull or Lesser Black-backed gull

    Not up on my gulls. There were mature version of both of these species at this location at the time of pictures. Tips on identifying immature gulls of these two species would be great. Pics taken in Indiana today. Thanks.

    Trumpeter or Tundra Swan?

    Thanks for the help birdmeister. Both species have been known to be present at this location in the past. Just couldn't get close enough to get a better look or pictures. Will try harder next time. :). Guess it will go down as a Trumpeter/Tundra Swan. Thanks again!

    Least Sandpiper? USA

    Not a typical location for me to see this bird. It was about 150 feet from the waters edge and in the grass. Didnt seem to fly well( maybe injured). I lightened up a picture to try and get a better look at the legs. Seem yellowish or it could be grass. Picture taken 11/21/22 in Indiana. Thanks.
