And here’s a small challenge for you B3 grads (or anyone else): ID this bird and tell us why. What is the diagnostic field mark?
Had 3 Least Flycatchers giving their “whit” calls in a loose flock this morning at my place (The Dacha). (Pix from last winter).
Git yer bins on !! https://birdcast.info/
Been hearing many of these on the Oregon Coast. Do you know the ID? (not the robin). Been extremely hard to see (much less photo) any of them. Too many trees!!!
Anyone who missed Cin Ty Lee’s talk on Empids you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9_bqVZaYqw I’m about to watch
Fall migration is in the air! Dickcissels and at least 4 upland sandpipers going over on this morning’s walk.
