Allan and I had distant looks at lawn ornaments in Port Aransas yesterday.
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!!!
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).
At the end of this group of photos is a super cool pix by Suzie Haas McCann taken on our visit to Anahuac NWR last week (WARNING: the last pix contains a dead bird, somewhat graphic).
Oddly, I’ve run across 3 different birds this year that appear to be runts of the litter. Ring-billed Gull, Long-billed Dowitcher and White Pelican.
Here’s species #129 seen at my place “the dacha”. Any ID discussion needed?
