More from the PacNW. I’ve been thinking of the many Western GUlls as “big birds” (58″ wingspan), but they were dwarfed as they escorted this eagle on its way. Eagle’s are 80″ wingspan. Also had gloaming fly-bys of Murrelet’s, Marbled I presume, but couldn’t be sure.
Another Empid. I watched this one about 30 minutes. I’ll only say this one is from Oregon. Your diagnosis?
And here’s a few other species — all of which were a bear to catch in a pix.
Here’s a few birds from Colorado this week. This Junco was a window strike but we warmed him up and he flew away. Fingers crossed!!
Enjoyed myself at the 2024 Gull Frolic north of Chicago last weekend!! Was disappointed there were no Great Black Back Gulls present, but highlights included great looks at both thayeri and kumlieni Iceland gulls, adult and immature and several different ages of lesser Black Back. Apparently the “warm” weather means many gulls were out floating…
