Charlie Spencer Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 #1 - Female House Finch? #2 - I think that's a juvenile Black-Billed Magpie, molting into adult colors and not yet having full tail feathers. #3 - ? #4 - Yes to Northern Flicker. Too far north for Gilded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psweet Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 #3 is a Barn Swallow. It's a youngster so it hasn't gotten it's tail streamers, but the rusty undersides, face pattern, and the white in the tail all point to Barn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpoetmarcr Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 There were Black-billed Magpies in the area but I hadn't seen a juvenile before, without the lengthy tail feathers. And the same with the Barn Swallow and no 'forked tail'. ? Thank you both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
