Quiscalus quiscula Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Western Kingbird? Possibly Tropical, but only a few records from the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Did it call? Voice is very useful in kingbird ID. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLong Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 no calling only opening it's mouth to pant, I did hear one a few hours later but it might not be the same one and I didn't get it on record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I would say Western, since it's more common in the area, but really it could be tropical too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical doesn't breed in Nevada and is very unlikely in June and July Edited July 7, 2021 by Peromyscus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we still have to rule out rare birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
