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.) Quote 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 Quote 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
