looks like a red shouldered hawk to me, did it look like this?
-
its a butcher bird or loggerhead shrike i think
-
most probably a broad winged hawk. they are in your area during breeding season https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Broad-winged_Hawk/id

@Stephanie definitely an albatross of some kind, Young albatrosses can spend the first 6 years of their life at sea, never touching land. They can cover hundreds of miles in one day feeding on fish and squid. Albatross can sleep while flying – but only for seconds at a time. so it can very easily be as far out as you were :). hope this helps!!
-
could it be a tufted titmouse feather, the under wing is red-ish. but the nuthatch is probably it.

The yellow breast (and underwing coverts), it turns out, are the result of a condition called xanthochroism. Just like albinism is a lack of pigment, and melanism is an excess of pigment, xanthochroism is an abundance of yellow pigment. It may be caused by certain abnormal items in the diet or dietary deficiencies, or may be genetic. The yellow may either be present in excess, or it may replace another colour (usually red, which is often itself controlled by diet). i got this online. pretty cool huh?!

i think some goldfinches do migrate while others don't. that would explain it.

she was probably hacking the baby out raptors do this by not giving their kids food and then leaving food outside the nest so its either fly or die of starvation. kinda cool!
-
we have a pair of barred owls in our backwoods. we can hear them on some nights :). i cant decide if i like barred or barn owls better :)!
-
i have had both kinds of birds for a long time and have never experienced this. i wonder if they have some kind of hidden symbiosis, that would be cool!!
-
the only phoebe nest i have ever found was on top of a light so i would say they will be fine :).
-
Albino maybe? Or at least half albino. But definitely wild turkey.
-
that is one weird looking duck :D! yet so cool!
-
I am taking the raptor ID class and I am 99% sure that is a harrier! you are SO lucky to see one! I haven't ever seen one.
-
looks kinda like a hermit thrush or wood thrush. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Hermit_Thrush/species-compare/67458521
-
no, its not that....
-
what state? that would help id it.

i would say lesser goldfinch female or immature male but their habitat is down by California USA. unless its a bigger than normal female or immature American goldfinch. birds probably have soooo much fun tricking us!!! ;).
