For today’s High Island Warmup we have a little quiz: Egret/heron bill & head. Suggest you try it without looking at references. Note the differences in lores & bill color, as well as bill shape. You can email me your answers if you want to, but please don’t respond with the answers as that will…
One of our recent birds at “The Land” in the Davis mountains.
Another Empid. I watched this one about 30 minutes. I’ll only say this one is from Oregon. Your diagnosis?
Here’s one i know u wont have trouble with. but for those of you up to the challenge, i’d like u to detail the differences between this bird seen at mills pond this morning, and others of the “solitary Vireo complex”. (actually I think this is 2 individuals, same species).
Here’s a question: does anyone know the answer without checking field guide? (I only know cause I learned it just now. I saw it): What color is a juvenile cardinal’s bill this time of year?
I finally got one!! Two actually, an apparently mated pair. Give me an ID before I give you the location.
