Double-crested cormorants. The yellow-orange area around the bill is the key marking.

Yes, a Red-tailed hawk. As mentioned, the belly band. Also the dark band on the leading edge of the wings (patagial stripe) is key. The bars across the tail are probably an indication that it is a juvenile. Darker head and dark wing tips are supportive of the ID.
Nice photos!

Nice work dealing with the problem of dark underside of a bird against a much lighter sky. It's a tough problem to solve consistently.

Nice set. I like the dippers - they are hard to capture well. The Sierra sure have been a lot more comfortable than the Valley - and a great choice this weekend.

A few birds that are blue (all males); 2 images of Lazuli buntings (note white bars on wings); Mountain bluebird; and Western bluebird. All taken in the Sierra Nevada.
