jcarscadden Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 two more - Oct 23, 2018 - Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve Nevada first is a grebe (I think) of some sort but cannot ID it grebe by Jim Carscadden, on Flickr second could be a cinnamon teal but coloring is not quite right - sorry for the poorer photo IMG_8607 (2) (408x274) by Jim Carscadden, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarscadden Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 oh yes...thought the grebe may have been a least grebe but that does not appear on the HBVP checklist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The second is a Northern Shoveler. Notice the humongous bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvoryBillHope Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 How about Cinnamon Teal for #2? Warmer coloration overall, along with a plain face and a red eye. Cinnamon Teal have decent-sized bills, doesn't look extreme enough for shoveler here IMO. Angle is tricky too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutya Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I actually saw the bird there this week. It is a shoveler. It's a bad angle there. Here's my pic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I can see it as a teal. I think you're right about the bill not being quite big enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Friedman Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Anyone else for Eared Grebe for the first bird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffclarke Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 My first thought was Eared Grebe, but I've never seen one, so wasn't sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarscadden Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 I did not think to look at winter plumage but have some pied billed grebes in there winter plumage taken the same day. But yes it does look like an eared grebe in winter plumage. I was at HBVP in April of this year and have eared grebes in breeding plumage and did not make the connection. and thank you for IDing the cinnamon teal..... thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
