Empid
Another Empid. I watched this one about 30 minutes.

I’ll only say this one is from Oregon. Your diagnosis?

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?
And here’s a few other species — all of which were a bear to catch in a pix.
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…
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!!!

Just had 2 Bronzed Cowbirds in Hyde park backyard while prepping for class tonight. Knew I should have had my camera handy (Photo from Corpus Christi)
