I could see it as a female Western -- a closer look at the primary extension and the face pattern would help. My first thought was actually N. Wheatear, but I can't reconcile the face and the wings with that.
-
Looks like a female Mountain Bluebird.
-
Not sure about the first one -- sounds better for Bushtit to me, but I'm not very familiar with either call. The second one sounds like a Junco.

Buff-bellied hummingbird? Texas 78070
psweet replied to TexasCobra's topic in Help Me Identify a Bird
Just a note for future observations -- Buff-bellied has a green throat, making it look hooded. -
The other two ducks are Common Goldeneye.
-
Check out Collared Finchbill (Spizixos semitorquata). It's actually one of the bulbuls.
-
Either Franklin's or Richardson's Ground Squirrel. I'm thinking Richardson's based on the buff crown and the habitat, but a look at the tail would be diagnostic.
-
Possibly White-winged for the dove, I'd want to see the tail pattern better to say for sure.
-
That smooth brown mottling below indicates a young Herring Gull, actually.
-
Looks like a Sharpie to me, compact, short tail, blotchy streaks below.
-
That White-throated is a nice find out that way.

Song with Scarlet Tanager like "Chip-burr" at the end - SW MI 4/22
psweet replied to chipperatl's topic in Help Me Identify a Bird
Sounds rather like a White-crowned Sparrow. There are quite a few sparrows that have buzzy little trills like that. The Chip-burr sounds rather different, actually, with a very sharp, short chip and all of the emphasis in the burr on the beginning. -
