Rick98 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 This bird appeared to be nesting in the housing provided at Bald Hill Natural Area near Corvallis, Oregon. Photos taken July 23, 2020. Sorry I don't have better photos, but I am very curious. Can anyone help? See photos attached. Thank you in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 BTW, the beak is black. The yellow is the gape flanges, which are skin. Sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
