Dan P Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Taken on 2021-04-25 on the Los Angeles River near Glendale Narrows Riverwalk, Glendale, CA. I'm not good at distinguishing Least from Western without a clear view of the legs. The one with a leg visible has algae on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) I'd say Least given how brown they are, but I'm not great at separating them without leg color either. Edit: I might be wrong though Edited April 27, 2021 by Aidan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird-Boys Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 These are Western. Note the long droopy bill, reddish color around the head, and black legs, as seen on the rightmost bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Least — Note lack of obvious red in upper scapulars, overall brown plumage, pale braces, and the greenish-yellow legs on right bird 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
