We've been getting a lot more wintering birds down here, and while I can identify most, sometimes a few get mixed in where I'm just not sure if it's a non-breeding, female, juvenile, etc. of some very similar looking warbler or vireo.
Here are a few of the ones I'm unsure on, any help appreciated.
1. unknown warbler-type:
2. Hooded merganser - coloration question...the bird in the back and farthest left had different color than the female hooded mergansers it was with (dark bill, lighter breast, brown crown) - the adult males are obvious, so was hoping for a confirm on whether this is a non-breeding, juvenile, etc of a hooded merganser, or some other type mixed in:
3. I think a palm warbler:
4. The wing stripes made me think maybe a juvenile pine warbler that hadn't developed the yellow colorations yet:
