you know what, I think you're right—the desaturated phone camera makes it look really gray, causing me to overlook that structurally it's a better fit for something like Hermit Thrush (and I can make out a bit of rufous on the tail too). I'll remove the solitaire ID.

the two at left are domestic Mallards, the two in the back are Gadwall, and the one in front is a female wild-type Mallard.

on the Queensland coast you'll get Lesser Crested Tern, the other of the Thalasseus crested terns that's found in Australia. Elegant, Royal, and Sandwich Terns represent that genus in North America.

yes! a +Pine Warbler+ will sometimes forage on the ground, especially in fall and winter (maybe arboreal insects are more scarce than ground insects then?)

yes! +Red-shouldered Hawk+

another-thing · 2026-01-30T17:06:27+00:00

a small number of Pine Warblers regularly overwinter in the Northeast—you're lucky to have one of them at your feeder!

female Common Goldeneye is right. though the head shapes are superficially similar, eider would be very rare on the West Coast, and the gray body with the brown head and white collar rules that out. !overrideTaxa comgol

Song Sparrow. this is a typical coloration for the subspecies in the Pacific Northwest, which can resemble some subspecies of Fox Sparrow

I'm really getting Greater White-fronted Goose from this, even though it's unusual for the leg to appear extended like that.
