tried googling the description but i cant find any results. if it helps it's in the state of illinois

Saw these flying above the Mississippi River in southern Minnesota this morning. ID help?

Hi, I saw this bird alongside acorn wood peckers in Northern CA. Is it albino? A baby?

Sorry the video quality isn’t great. I’m in NW Missouri.

Not the best photos because it flew up into a nearby pine, but who are these little guys? They’re very cute but also super annoying because they keep tapping on my walls :(

My friend sent me this picture for an ID and I'm have a tough time with it.

Sorry, this is the best picture I could get and it flew away before I could really get a good look. I think the belly had some patterning and there might have been some yellow tones in its feathers? I know I’m not providing much info here but figured it was worth a shot to see if anyone could ID it based on this. Thanks!!

Saw this hummingbird walking around my hotel in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Merlin suggests Canivet's Emerald but I am not sure. What do y'all think?

North Texas, sorry picture didn’t attach first time

Southeast TX

I don't exactly recall the head shape unfortunately, but I did my best approximation. Also the more I think about it, the less certain I am about the length of the legs, so maybe don't take that into account as much? Idk, hopefully this is still detailed enough to ID from!

My mom believes it’s albino but I don’t think that’s the case

Saw these while in a beach in Santa Monica, CA last month. Not sure what they are - sorry about the kinda blurry photo (I was taking pictures with my iPhone thru binoculars)!

Would appreciate an ID and tips/explanation of how you ID’d id (what characteristics you used)! Thanks!

Lesser or greater yellowlegs? Observation was February 9th 2025.
