It was in very heavy shade, so hard to see leg coloring & color shade of bird. Edited April 13, 2022 by floraphile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floraphile Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 @meghann--no frontal shots of the throat. This is the best one. Looks pretty streaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floraphile Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 I went back and looked at sightings in the area and a Louisiana was seen at the same Hotspot a couple of days ago--from the photo it looks like the same drainage ditch. So, on closer inspection of the first picture, I think the throat does look too clean for Northern. Yays? Nays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both should be coming through your area right now, so Northern isn’t out of the range of possibility. It’s certainly less common, but I’m sticking with Northern. Safest thing to do is report it as a slash. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
