Loons or Grebes or...? & Common Goldeneye muddle - Camano Washington State USA
All seen last week in cold, rainy weather at a west side beach. Sometimes you can't wait for a perfect day. 1 - 4) Seen at extreme distance, well into the channel. Yes, bad photos, but the best I have of the pair. 5) The cheek patch seems Common Goldeneye, but what's with the muddled chest...- Fandango739

First post on here! Bird spotted on canal in Cardiff, UK. Help with identification please! :)
Unfortunately I don't have any good photos due to the distance and only having a phone camera to hand. I'm relatively new to birdwatching and have no idea what this bird is. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks- CJG

2 Different Water Birds in the Northwestern United States, Idaho on 4/30/21
Hello! I just recently went birding in a local town and ran into 2 different water birds I'm unable to identify. I apologize beforehand for the quality of the pictures, as I only had my phone on me at the time. The first 2 I have a few pictures of, and they look like they might be different...- Procreus

Barn Swallow
I took this one a year ago in our town. I believe it's a male, but am ready to be corrected. These birds, along with House Martins & Swifts, fly around the square in front of the house all day long. Wiggie Woo (our dog) and I sit on the front step in the mornings watching them flit by and...- Branners

This is four of the five Coots that had a bit of 'handbags at dawn' the other day. The big fella came out on top and the others scarpered in double quick time!- Branners

Coot
These little fellas look so docile 99% of the time but, when they square up to each other, they're anything but! There were 5 males involved in this fracas, it was way to close to us for me to get them all in shot, but this is one of my favourites.- Branners

Our birding day last Tuesday yielded some great shots, and lots of firsts for me. However, the image that made me smile, and still does every time I look at it, is this one.- Branners
