Morgan Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi all, Looking for some help with a few IDs. All taken this morning at Forsythe in NJ. 1. Is this a Stilt Sandpiper with the Dowitchers? On the far left? 2. is this LB v SB Dowticher? On right 3. Photo is tagged as cave Swallows but these are actually Purple Martens, right? thanks!

Benjamin Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Tough.. I like Short-billed for the first group, with those pale bellies and densely spotted underparts, but at least the frontmost bird in the second photo looks Long-billed to my eye. Strongly rufous belly, strong white crescent under eye, sparse barring below. And yes, Purple Martins. Notice the notched tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalarope713 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I agree with Short-billed and Purple Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
