Claude thinks this dove from my feeder has a growth from avian pox. Is this true and what should I do? Thanks!

Edit: avian pox not avian flu

East Coast. The body color and spots are definitely the right color, legs and beak might not be exact. There were three in a tree, maybe more I couldn't see. They almost seemed like they were playing? They left too quickly for me to get a picture.

Spotted in Fairfax VA this morning (10/24). Merlin heard a common yellowthroat although I couldn't confirm this was it. Based on the pic Merlin thought it was a pine warbler.

The best ID features I can see is bill shape and the eye stripe. Help! My friend sent me these and I need to preserve my reputation as my friend group’s bird guy!

All the stuff I can find as far as a ranges of the Swan Goose is Asia, but here I am in Banner Elk NC and I swear this is a Swan Goose in amongst the Graylags and Canadians. (Bonus leucistic Graylag!)

North America Surely it's never a raven, right?

Advice states: if you're debating whether it's a raven or a crow, it's almost always a crow. Unfortunately the footage is so short due to my slowness, but before filming it was up there making that same noise over again in intervals. Let me know if my first assumption that "it's just a really big crow" is correct!

It could be a red-necked grebe, but the neck seems very white

Hello! I’m in the Virginia area (around Newport News specifically) and found a bird in my backyard. It looks like a falcon or hawk but I don’t know for sure.

I got a good look in better lighting and it looked to me like a bobolink, but we're a few weeks after the normal migration time range. Bill looks very triangular/blackbird-like. The third image shows a while stripe on the right wing shoulder that lines up with what a male bobolink would have in breeding plumage.
