My Bird "List"

Ok, so I may have found a new "hobby." I know some people have a bird list, but only they have seen the birds and no proof. My list will only include birds of which I have taken a picture. Please let me know if I have an incorrect identification (especially the American Goldfinch and the Western Gull). You will have to provide a good argument for the Gull, because I checked a bunch of reputable sources to make sure it wasn't a Herring Gull!

All birds shown were in the state of Washington in May 2009 (click on slideshow to see Geo-Tags for each photo):
Bald Eagle
Western Gull (different ages)
American Crow
American Robin
European Starling
House Sparrow - male and female
Rock Pigeon
Mallard - male and female; taken by Luann, but I was present
Violet-Green Swallow - male
Canada Goose
American Goldfinch?
California Quail - male and female; she was on the ground ;-)
House Finch - male and female

Bird count: 12 (does not include questionable Goldfinch)
