    Would like confirmation on these as Canvasbacks.  Taken today at Sand Lake Park, Iowa City, Iowa.  Thanks.

    Thanks Kryptos18.  I see that one of your latest lifers is Brown Creeper.  I saw one six years ago out my kitchen window, but wasn't quick enough with the camera.  Yesterday I saw one again, and the camera was ready, but the shot is through the glass, so it's not the greatest. Still counts, tho!  Thanks again.

    Haha, yeah, I didn't start birding until this past January, so there are some common winter species that I couldn't put on my list even though I'd seen them before, just not while birding! Nice to finally get that one on there ;)
