PapaDMH Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Thoughts on this coastal sparrow? Fort Fisher, North Carolina, Nov. 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan B Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I'd go Nelson's with the small bill and fairly unstreaked breast, although I don't have any experience with that species pair. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I think it's Saltmarsh, (Dark streaks and bolder colors) but I'm not sure either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghann Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I *think* it's a Nelson's, because the orange isn't super bright on the face, and also there's orange on the breast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Doesn’t seem buffy enough for Nelson’s plus the throat is clean. I’d go Saltmarsh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghann Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 If this were 1994, it would be a much easier ID. ? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Well it's either a Nelson's (Interior) or a Saltmarsh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Just now, Seanbirds said: I was implying that it might be less common to see an Interior bird on the coast, but I don't actually know. It would be an Interior based on how heavily marked it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
