I don't know why only the first image shows up. Try clicking on the sign that says posted image and see if you can see the image like that, otherwise I will post it again tomorrow night.

#7 is an eastern phoebe, and #9 are barn swallows.

p.s.-pictures came up fine for me.

#5 is two shovelers.

Oh, that's interesting about the pics. Must be because I'm at my cottage and have a slow internet connection.

I agree on the Shovelers, and I don't think the Merganser is hooded? Looks more like Red-breasted to me (I don't know about the range into Canada though).

[natureboy]

agree w/autzman, the mergansers don't appear to be hooded

[jdeitsch]

The merganser is a Hooded!

[GreatHorn]

2 and 3 are Hooded Mergansers.
On a Red-breasted, the bill would be longer proportionally to the head.
