What birds are those mike_c ?

These are in the area:

https://www.azgfd.com/location/whitewater-draw-wildlife-area/

Common birds in the area include sandhill cranes, blue-winged, green-winged, cinnamon teals, northern shovelers, northern pintails, scaled and Gambel’s quail, western, eared, pied-billed and Clark’s grebes, great blue heron, black-crowned night heron, white-faced Ibis, red-tailed, Swainson’s, Cooper’s and Harris’ hawks, northern harrier, sora, many kinds of shorebirds, mourning and white-winged doves, greater roadrunner, barn, long-eared, burrowing and great horned owls, vermilion flycatcher, loggerhead shrike, Bendire’s, curve-billed and crissal thrashers, many kinds of sparrows, red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds.


I struck out those I think are unlikely candidates..Sadly my knowledge of birds (and most other things) is very limited :-/. I try though…
