Heermann's Gull, flying (and American Wigeon, in the water)

Except bird facing camera
(Long-billed Curlew)

Photo 3 was immediately after pulling a small fish from the water, almost caught it. Taken from the road in my car through binoculars.

Strong white band across the tail. I know these photos are terrible but it was from my car, and I was going about 10-15 mph to pace this bird as it rode the wind searching the bushes

The photos aren’t great but I could clearly see the bald head

Found on the ground. Speckled and reddish in color.

No evidence of marbling, but was roughly 10” long. Guessing NW Salamander or Coastal Giant Salamander, but not sure.

Possibly bilinearis?
