It would seem really strange, to live in a place with little to no vultures.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could hardly believe it when I heard that Intermediate Egret would be split into three species; Medium, Plumed, and Yellow-billed. And they weren’t kidding. I understand that it can be hard to come up with descriptive names when they all look the same, but still. Edited November 1 by Avery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never remember which is which, especially when I've only seen one of the two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
