Seanbirds Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The adult in this one is a Tundra, and so is the juvenile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I think It's safe to say that all of them are Tundra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 There is a large size difference between the two species. Given that the adult -- with that yellow spot on the bill -- is obviously a Tundra, then the juv is also a Tundra. https://cobirds.org/Publications/ColoradoBirds/InTheScope/76.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
