MWM Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 A couple very distant shots of a possible Bonaparte's Gull? Taken May 13, 2021 at Montezuma Wildlife Refuge (Central New York State) with a flock of shorebirds (Yellowlegs?) when flushed by a Peregrine Falcon. Sorry for the poor photos - very distant shot.

Birding Boy Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I think the upper two birds are Black-bellied Plovers, it looks like the bottom right and left birds are something else, possibly Yellowlegs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the best I can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 The others are Lesser Yellowlegs, given the good size comparison with the plovers. BTW, gulls tend not to have white wing stripes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
