gstacks Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Today near Denver, CO. Others spotted it this morning (Cherry Creek State Park), so I went looking for it this afternoon. Just hoping for a confirmation that I got the right peep here. (There's a Killdeer in one pic for size comparison.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpoole Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Looks good for a Juvenile (fall) noting the black-centered back feathers with buff edges along with the size comparison against the Killdeer. I am not an expert. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an expert. I agree that this looks like a juvenile. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
