MacMe Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 This is a non-breeding individual, right, with the all white neck? Breeding individuals will have dark necks. Is this right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice photography!! thank you, It helps when they beg on fishing piers...nice and close. Also, it was my understanding that male BP had the white heads while females were all brown, but as I was researching the above question I think I have that wrong. Is it males and females are indistinguishable and the all brown ones are juveniles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
