Could I get some help identifying which species these are? I believe the first two are Red-tailed Hawks, but I was uncertain about them due to the second's striped tail. I don't quite know what the second one could be. I was thinking maybe a Blue-grey Gnatcatcher? Merlin was picking up a ton of different birds around the time, including a Gray Catbird, the BGGC, and, perplexingly, an Eastern Phoebe during the duration. Merlin's photo identification had Eastern Phoebe as the third and final suggestion, but I'm extremely hesitant to put it as such considering that, despite the fact that one was present in Orange County earlier this week, it's a rare bird here and feels very unlikely. If it's unidentifiable, i apologize for the waste of time. Thanks for any help!
