Well you need to come visit me in Florida. The place where I took this photo has tons of them and because it is a City Park they are use to people. It is breeding season at this park right now and it gets crazy with Laughing Gulls, Royal Terns, Black Skimmers, Brown Pelicans and even a few American Oystercatchers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GracesWarbler Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Here's a Common Raven. It has tiny white feathers over its eye. Anybody know what causes feathers like that? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skimmer was from our 2020 trip. That year, we spent every day birding the coast for about a week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you only saw one?!? I almost wonder if you were mistaking them for Royal/Caspian Terns. If you don't look through you bins it can be a pretty easy thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, I was eBirding, and I wanted to get my ID’s straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
