1) Flycatcher?today in White Rock. The bird was perched above a small pond. Attached is a small video as well as pictures. I'm leaning towards Western Wood-Pewee but the field guide (Sibley's) shows grey frontal parts while the bird here has a contrast between dark upperparts and pale underparts.
2) It's one of the Goldeneyes, also from White Rock today. There were 3 individuals. Yellow eye. The shape of the white spot is more round than it is like a comma suggesting Common, however the wing pattern and upperparts look more like a Barrow's. The in-flight photos came out all blurred but the pattern (white patch on upperwing) is visible.
