Hi all,

 

any chance you can ID this bird? Was in a flock of about 5000 cowbirds, RW blackbirds and grackles. Stood out - seemed slightly larger and much more pale... 

 

taken this morning in New York.

 

thx

HI all,

 

Wondering if the second two photos show a TB Murre versus Common which I'm pretty sure are in the first photo with the Gannet.

 

thoughts? All Common? Probably...
