Three chicks hatched and made it safely to water. One did not hatch.

Could this be a Hybrid Mottled?

Big as a hawk, but flies like a kite. White head and white tail, entirely black wings. Saw 2 of them not flying together but flying near each other

Never seen one with that white tail and spots on it before.

Used ash-throated flycatcher calls and this bird popped up. Not sure if ash-throated, great crested or other flycatcher species. Was unable to get a great pic.

the back one is a domestic morph?

Thoughts on Eastern vs Western subspecies?

Dozens of chickens mostly black genetically which was interesting

Dozens and dozens of chickens all over this area

Brown feathers, line across the eye

Immature Dont know wing span. Anna marie island at playa tennis courts, holmes beach. Was ill. We brought to a place in Bradenton. Beak very hooked

Truly one of the oddest events I've seen as a birder. This Royal Tern flew straight to this Laughing Gull and fed it -- apparently on purpose!
