AlexHenry Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 5 is I think a Green-winged Teal 4 is mostly Greater Yellowlegs, but I’m not sure about the bird tucked in right behind a Greater Yellowlegs in the center-right of the image. Maybe another Yellowlegs 3 Yes yes and probably a Yellowlegs 1 Both Palm Warblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange-crowned Warbler--wasn't sure about that eye stripe It has strongly contrasting under-tail coverts and tail spots, the latter of which rules out OCWA. 45 minutes ago, floraphile said: 1. ?Willet (center) It has thinnish yellow legs and a relatively thin bill -- Greater Yellowlegs. 45 minutes ago, floraphile said: Green-winged Teal The prototypical groveling-in-the-mud duck. 45 minutes ago, floraphile said: 5. Which duck? Readily ID'ed by the pale triangle below the tail as a Green-winged Teal.

floraphile Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) @AlexHenry@Tony Leukering What about the chunky birds with the long bills in the center of photo 2 (section 2--Mudflats)? I thought they might be one of the Dowitcher species. Edited February 28, 2021 by floraphile clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one of the Dowicher species in there, but they are not identifiable past that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some God Emperor of Dabblers toward whom they kowtow? Edited February 28, 2021 by Charlie Spencer 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
