Tony Leukering 2,531 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Given that it's January in the US, Semi is only a remote possibility. Additionally, Semis (and Western) are gray birds; Least is a brown bird. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
floraphile 285 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 @IKLland @Tony Leukering Thank you. It is incredibly helpful & greatly appreciated when IDs are accompanied by "whys", i. e., field marks, seasonal ranges, etc. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
