Here’s a short sparrow quiz from the Davis Mountains. Can you do it without references?
Here’s my second lifer of the trip. Also from near Lincoln, Montana in same burned woodlands. Although we didn’t study this one in B3, I think you can figure it out
Someone just reported another gull from our “uncommon 7” list. Hoping a B3er will find one this winter!!
I found this list of ABA countable introduced species helpful. Article at ABA
Something I just learned: male Bushtit dark eyes, female light.
Anyone want to try this bird Virginia found at Lake Creek Trail this morning? The lousy pix is all me
