RobinHood Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Is the second one OK for a !st winter Blackpoll or is the breast streaking not definitive enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking blackpoll too, but I couldn’t figure out why. I got enough practice this fall to get most of the fall bay-breasted/blackpoll I saw without looking at the feet. I think it’s because the top wing bar isn’t prominent, the slightly smaller bill, and the light streaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the bill is finer, the eyeline more pronounced Blackpoll Bay-breasted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how you can ID something without knowing how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I now know that my subconscious recognizes differences, even though it may take me years to consciously recognize them; it's happened to/with me so many times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
