millipede Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Based on location, it is what's expected. There were two in a field. One was pretty easily a white-faced. It was larger, if I"m reading Sibley's right, that would make it male. The other... in the field, I could not tell at all. The larger one, the white border was VERY clear in the field. At home, looking at pictures... I just want to double check. Sibley's suggests that right now a glossy would have a more brownish bill. The bills on these two birds looked mostly the same... grayish. Leg color was difficult to judge... they were a ways out and, I'm not a photographer 😞 I'm leaning towards the smaller one also being white-faced but want to confirm or get second opinions... zoomed/cropped They were fun to watch... wish I had more time In the field, I reported to eBird 1 white-faced and 1 glossy/white-faced. I will change it if anyone is pretty certain about that second bird. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're in Arkansas, but people often post photos taken away from their home patch. (Plus, others may not be aware of your locale.)

pictaker Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It looks to me that both have red eyes which would make them both white faced…. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
