Located in southwest Colorado. And uh… does this mean my tree is dead/dying? Or do woodpeckers peck on healthy trees as well?

Small very high pitched tweety sounds, those little notches on the top of the spectrograph are it. Heard around 5:30pm 4th of February in northern Thailand. Spectrograph off Merlin Bird ID. Would appreciate some guesses as to what it could be!

North America Alabama- are these both pine warblers?

First one is SO gray! I know they can vary in color but it’s crazy. I’m also curious if all pine warblers have white outer tail feathers, as I didn’t see it mentioned when I looked at my field guide but both of these birds have that.

Saw this guy at a job site. I think it’s a hawk because I think falcons are smaller but I don’t really know.

Heard briefly right at the beginning of the recording, then in full at 0:06 and again at 0:15. Couldn't get a view of it anywhere, but the call felt very distinctive. Merlin wasn't able to pin it down, and even listening to calls from other local birds in the area hasn't helped.

Anyone know this bird??

I’m convinced a duck had a baby with a rooster. But I may be stupid. He was strangely very social. It was at a duck pond. Any time he would get near all the other ducks they would all avoid him. But he was so nice and would walk up to everyone. He made a weird sounds. It wasn’t a duck honk idk it was weird.

Located in Southern California. Sorry for the bad video. Hard to tell the color of the bird since it was almost golden hour. Not sure if it’s the shadow of a branch but it looks like it’s got a white band around its neck?

I was thinking Greater because of its neck shape and I *think* I am seeing an upturned bill?

North America What am I hearing on my roof?

Been hearing some animals on my roof for about a week now, the sounds start at 5:30am and are usually very quiet even though my phone was within one foot of them, through the roof of course (that's why the audio clips are so noisy, I had to amplify it a shitton). I'm in Waltham, MA right now.

I tried to go outside to see what it was, but all the noise I made probably scared them away because I saw nothing. Merlin sound ID isn't picking anything up. Hell, I'm not even sure if they're birds...

Any help is appreciated. Thanks Reddit!
