dragon49 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Actually, the landscape scenery picture is great. I just looked at it and noticed these two birds. Same birds, different cropped levels from a snippet of the full picture. I'm mainly interested in the bigger bird in the back. I'm thinking that maybe the smaller bird in front is a Red-winged Blackbird and with normal lighting that patch would be red.

chipperatl Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Crested Caracara perhaps. Are they in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't considered Anhinga because the white part of the head appears thicker to me than what I'd expect from one, but the cropped part showing the bird is so low-quality that maybe my thoughts were incorrect.

Charlie Spencer Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) 54 minutes ago, Kevin said: And this is not a Great Blue Heron The bend in the wings is too close to the body, less than halfway out the wing. On a GBHE, the joint is closer to the end. Edited April 5, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
