insanityslave Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 seen today in central nc at first i thought it was another sparrow, but then i noticed a LOT of bobbing up and down as it foraged along the shoreline. my kneejerk reaction was palm warbler (cause its clearly not a spotted sandpiper), but the pics arent great and i cant make out the yellow undertail coverts thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Why not an American Pipit? Looks better for that and habitat/behavior matches. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) I don't see a yellow rump and the streaking on the flanks is quite bold. I think this is an American Pipit.

Ed hogg Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Definitely an American Pipit. A Palm Warbler would have yellow on the rump I just got sniped by two people in less than 10 seconds! Edited January 18 by Ed hogg 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
