Just got back from a family vacation in Las Vegas, NV. Was able to bring along my brand new 800mm super telephoto lense. Wow, what a beast!

I'm asking again for a little help in identifing some birds. A hummingbird, i believe may be a Costa?; a hawk, maybe Cooper?; a sparrow, maybe a chipping?; and another bird, dunno...
