okaugust Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Yesterday caught some female mergies in the Tillamook Bay areas, along east of Garibaldi, OR and Bayocean Spit. Just about the time I think I'm 100% sure of Common or Red-breasted some marking causes me to doubt that. I'm inclined to think they are all Red-breasted, but would appreciate any confirms or notes on markings. I didn't get lucky enough to have a male about to help move the needle. A. B These I'm more confident are Red-breasted...mostly due to the less defined collar between the red head and the white throat. C D Heading out into the rain to look for more birbs! Thank you for looking, T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I agree with all being Red-breasted. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
