floraphile 174 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 18 Aug 2018 NY Botanical Gardens, Bronx, NYC I see a square-off tail tipped with dark. Maybe a greyish back/wings with mottled underparts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Leukering 2,280 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 5 hours ago, Avery said: Blue Jay I'm curious how you got there, as BLJA has large white tail corners that should be visible on the underside of the tail in this photo, despite the underexposure. The primary projection might be too long for BLJA, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the undertail coverts on juveniles are a lot more muted. https://search.macaulaylibrary.org/catalog?taxonCode=grycat&q=Gray Catbird - Dumetella carolinensis&age=j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avery 713 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 For some reason I forgot about catbirds. My bad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
