| Ring-necked Pheasant...calling him my nemesis bird the past couple of years, as we just couldn't find one until today |

| Rough-legged Hawk |

| Northern Harrier...the Grey Ghost |
 |
| Pileated Woodpecker, a pair, right in the yard today |
Been lucky the past couple of days, although we missed the Snowy Owls and the Short-eared Owl we've been chasing.

| A Glaucous Gull, right down on the river today a lifer for me |

| Great Black-backed Gull, not rare, but he posed nicely |
Hi Marianne, I have some questions about your Glaucous Gull. It might just be how the photos were rendered but things that may be a little off for Glaucous are: the bill color doesn't seem quite right, there looks as if there may be a hint of a tail band (although it might just be shadow) and the there seems to be some darker tones to the plumage than would be typical for Glaucous. I think my email is included.
ReplyDeleteBill, I wasn't able to find your email, but I would take any advice you have to offer on this bird. I didn't know if it was an Iceland, a Glaucous, or some other bird...not too hot on gulls and I'll be the first to admit it. I put it up on Facebook, What's this bird, and that was what the people there told me. FEel free to point me in the right direction! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWonderful birds!!!
